There are many AMD systems that run fine, year after year, at 60°; or higher... Why perport this inaccurate "kiss-of-death"??? It is simply not so.
The laws of physics state that any device that burns 60 or so Watts of energy burns just that: 60 Watts of energy. It doesn't matter what brand it is, it still obeys the lays of physics. Period.
So, why is AMD different? .... it isn't.

believe what you want to believe. 60C is the max it should ever run, though. it is not good for the core to run much hotter. it doesn't just cut a couple months off the cpu's life...more like cuts its life in half. plus the cooler it runs, the more stable it will be in the long run. besides, it's so easy to get it under 60C so why recommend to someone that doesn't know any better that 90C is fine? (not saying that is the case here).
52C is perfectly fine though if you're not experiencing any problems.
