foothead Omnicide now. Messages 10,027 Location My own personal hell Mar 9, 2010 #7 Phenom II's don't like being very hot. I keep it icy chill because losing a CPU really isn't worth it for bragging rights/5% performance gain.

I'm not saying I would push it, but some processors will be hotter then others, and they are rated well above 62c if I recall correctly.
