If anything, Athlons, and earlier AMDs, as much a condition even now

matter of subtle instabilities and inexactitude.

AMD says as much for a 158F publicized spec, to translate
conservatively within means someone with a modicum of machine
adjustments, I ought to be able keep below and within a safe upper
limit and arbitrate for 135F. Nothing astounding, then, for a basic
expectation with decent supportive components, not to shoot for a
decade's expected usage.

My residual Intel - placed alongside the above AMDs, equivalently

preclude facilitating higher than 135F...

I can play with the extra octal's cores, meanwhile, and what programs
are suited to dispersal across them for the next ten years;- failing
which, there's always *nix.
