I've gotten 183 F before but i figured out the problem. I had 2 printers trying to spool that werent even connected to the computer so it was taking up the whole cpu basically.

are you sure deg c?

the chip would fail at those temps if i remember the specifications

Safe operation is defined as anything below 100°C. The catastrophic thermal protection temperature is 125°C; although it won't physically melt until 1400°C.

when I oc my quadcore, I try to limit my load cpu to 62.5C. I think the first thing I am going to do when I get a mac is reapply the tim.

I think this is the highest it has ever been. I was encoding some video and watch a video online, I'm surprised it got so hot.
