I figured you knew the difference, which is why I called it a semantic issue, my explanation was more for others trying to follow my logic.

As we both know, intel is using one term to describe two different points, in essence oversimplifying error either from laziness or intentional vagueness, or, giving intel the benefit of the doubt, if you are in specs via cpu temp by definition you are within Tcase/IHS temp spec (since that would be even lower). If you rewrite your guide, could you make me happy and differentiate the two, since intel is too lazy or secretive to do so?
