What is the safe temperature range for a Core-i5 processor?
I'm just wondering if my processor I working under an acceptable temp. From what I have read 42 is pretty decent under idle conditions. But looking as Intel Extreme Tuning its appears red while every thing else is blue. Any suggestions?

Your temperature monitor is off. You may just be missing a decimal point to get to the real temperature, but as of now, it seems to think that your processor is about half a billion degrees centigrade. That puts it just slighly out of normal bounds.
Your voltage meter is off also.

It looks like it is a bug with the reading. Does it say 429 Million degrees? – xdumaine – 2011-11-28T04:57:57.210

1Idle temperatures are basically meaningless. They just measure how much the fan is able to slow down. – David Schwartz – 2011-11-28T05:25:17.783
