Other pans conduct heat through a disc welded to the bottom of the pan.
You can check the specifications of your particular CPU at www.cpu-world.com which details the maximum operating temperature for many processors. In general you should consider 60 degrees Celcius the absolute maximum for long periods, but aim for 45-50 degrees to be safe.e're not talking about room temperature. Most CPU run over 100 degrees fahrenheit. The link that Jim Martin gave for http://www.cpu-world.com/ gives all the information on CPU temperatures.
Real Temp is a temperature monitoring program designed for all Intel single Core, Dual Core, Quad Core and Core i7 processors. Each core on these processors has a digital thermal sensor (DTS) that reports temperature data relative to TJMax which is the safe maximum operating core temperature for the CPU. As your CPU heats up, your Distance to TJMax will decrease.
