i3 4170 tj max

[astranger200]

anyone know what the max temp for the i3 4170 is?

I know the tcase max is 72, but what is the TJ max?

[christianled59]

wat

 

Apparently 72 degrees C.

[You_are_a_cunt]

afaik they're generally equal or roughly the same (within 1C)

no idea but my 4170 stays below tj max most of the time, even under heavy loads. and Prime95 is bad its called like heatvirus or something its  not an acutal virus but it stresses the CPU too much.

its Fine just dont go 85C or 90C

[Nena Trinity]

I would keep it under 72c cause that is what AMD says is max for their CPUs even if intel may say something like 90c...

Tcase max is the maximum allowed temperature at the heatspreader.

If this temperature is reached the system will shut down to prevent any damage to the chip.

Intel doesn't list the Thermal junction maximum allowed temperature for this cpu, my guess would be because there aren't any heat probes at inside the dies themselves but rather on the outside of the die. (still built into the die its just on the uppermost later of the silicon. So the Tjmax temperature would be the same as the Tcase due to the position of the heat probes. But because they're technically not the same they have a different name)

You might also wanna rethink your cooling strategy if your i3 is getting anywhere close to that hot.
