Author here — maybe it was dumb of me to try, but it didn’t come close to a bad temperature. I get the feeling that the BIOS doesn’t stress the CPU very much. Of course, I would never try to boot an OS or let it sit for much longer than I did.
- akira2501 5y agoIt's hard to imagine it using SMP, so only one core should be active, and it's not likely to use many of the advanced functional units. I imagine you have a pretty high "thermal margin" in that run state.
- userbinator 5y agoThe fact that it had a heatspreader probably made the heating much less rapid than it could've been with a bare-die CPU like an old Athlon or some of the mobile ones.
