When does your cpu start taking damage? at what temperature.
AMD?
Intel?
Or are they the same for all brands.
More specifically: AMD Athlon X2 4400+

The exact range of recommended temperature should be different for each brand and model but they are generally within each other. Note the link below has people talking about idle temperature and busy temperature.

Nah, 44 C is fine.
Most CPUs can take 85C or higher... typically the computer will shut itself down and be okay though.
Just a bit of reference I often run my laptop at 70C.
The highest I have gotten a Pentium 4 was 99C when the heatsink fell off and I didn't notice >_<
(both of those computers are over 3 years old and run fine so its okay)

We all wear masks. Everyone, everyday... sometimes we wear them so much, we forget who we really are. And sometimes if we're lucky, someone comes along and shows us who we really want to be, who we should be.

Yeah... thats what the bios said... It was rather disturbing the computer didn't shut itself down... but well, I was being dense and didn't think the heatsink would pop off....
