  1. Just wondering how CPU overheating works. According to what I know, there are thermal throttling and Tcase Temperature, one is for slowing down the CPU when it reached 100C while the latter is about "temperature allowed at the processor Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS)".

    For my i7 4790K, thermal throttling occurs at 100C and the Tcase is stated 74.04C from intel website.

     

    What will be called if this CPU is overheating? at 100C or 74.04C? What exactly is Tcase?

     

     

  2. I recently got 4790k and was trying out with the stock cooler. Any kind of heavy load will easily hit 80+ and eventually 100℃. Now I have got tx3 evo, though not the best choice due to my small elite 342 casing, but still managed to bring the max temp I have seen to 80 ℃.

    But one question to ask, is the 100℃ the max possible for the sensor that even it goes beyond 100℃ the reading will be capped at 100℃?
