I thought throttling for Prescott begin at ~90°C.

The system with a Prescott CPU shuts down at a higher temperature than that with a Northwood. The latter's peak was, in our case, 98°C, while Prescott never shut down at temperatures below 101°C, sometimes even working on at 105°C.

Prescott is so f*cked up .... most high end users get rid of them to save face

I keep mine because I have no face

I don't exactly know where it starts, I tought 75, but that might be the northwoods.
Anyway, no matter where it STARTS it can get higher. the CPU will drop a small percentage at 75 and more at 90 and even more at 110. Sometimes a P4 running at 50% will still be over 100°C, but working for all intents and purposes. I've seen CPU's (mostly AMD however) running at about 80-90°C for about a week without problems (except removing the cooler at the end of the week.)
