First off, there's a chart for CPU temperature at the very top and they do talk about it:

> I also double-checked if the CPU temperature of about 100 degrees celsius is too high, but no: [..] Intel specifies a maximum of 110 degrees. So, running at “only” 100 degrees for a few hours should be fine.

Secondly, the article reads:

> Tom’s Hardware recently reported that “Intel Raptor Lake crashes are increasing with rising temperatures in record European heat wave”, which prompted some folks to blame Europe’s general lack of Air Conditioning.

> But in this case, I actually did air-condition the room about half-way through the job (at about 16:00), when I noticed the room was getting hot. Here’s the temperature graph:

> [GRAPH]

> I would say that 25 to 28 degrees celsius are normal temperatures for computers.

So apparently a Tom's Hardware article connected a recent heat wave with crashing computers containing Intel CPUs. They brought that up to rule it out by presenting a graph showing reasonable room temperatures.

I hope this helps.

Hmmh. On a new reading, you're right, the Tom's Hardware reference does justify it. Though I still wouldn't have discussed room temperature at all as it doesn't bring any useful extra information after already monitoring for the CPU temp.
