Safe temperature range for a Core 2 Quad CPU? [duplicate]

Safe temperature range for a Core 2 Quad CPU? [duplicate] I've looked around for an answer to this for a while, and have found many conflicting answers. I've heard that it shouldn't be allowed to go higher than 45C or so, and I've also heard that 55C is a safe limit. I'd really appreciate some clarification.

"It depends on the individual CPU, take a look at the Intel Core 2 Quad Specification site and click on your CPU to find out.

It looks like average thermal specification is between 60c-70c, with some being higher"

Anywhere from 25C to 55C is safe.
