Alienware Aurora R7 1. Also, does Alien Thermal (or other software/hardware) prevent damage from occurring when the CPU gets to unsafe temperatures? 2a. I ask this because when trying some video conversion software, my CPU load went to 100% 2b. with a temperature increase to 72C. 2c. I am wanting to know if the CPU is safe at 100% load and [around] 70C.   1. The (Asetek) liquid-cooler should operate as required to hold the CPU temp around 70c. On either of my Auroras, I've never really seen the temp rise above 75c (even when encoding videos). The Intel processor itself has the ability to "throttle back" to prevent melt-down, if for some reason, it's temp gets above 90c. 2a. This is normal and by-design. 2b.  This is normal  2c. Yes.
Hi, I have an Alienware Aurora R7, and I am wanting to know the temperature range that is safe for the CPU? Also, does Alien Thermal (or other software/hardware) prevent damage from occurring when the CPU gets to unsafe temperatures? I ask this because when trying some video conversion software, my CPU load went to 100% with a temperature increase to 72C. I am wanting to know if the CPU is safe at 100% load and over 70C. Thanks
