Utility Reading Temps: Core Temp/Everest - BIOS/Gigabyte Easytune 5

I have been reading threads all over this board lately and noone seems to be able to come up with a 100% reliable reading.

According to the intel site http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...x?sSpec=SL9S8#

the max temp for this chip is 60.1C yet the tech support where i bought this system reckon they can get up to 90C.

My CPU is the same model as yours, but i have a max 100% load temperature (read from EasyTune5 w/ DS4 ) of 72°C, stock speed, vcore and cooler.

Clearly a warranty issue if 60.1°C is "the maximum temperature for reliable operation of the processor" ?
