What do you mean maximum temperature? Im sure it can get extremely hot and break, are you trying to find out what the safest maximum temperature is?

I really need more information on the processor to be definite. Here is one that is pretty close to yours HERE You are looking for "Thermal Specification" which states it is 68 Celsius.

I need more specs for your processor:

• Download
• Install it, and open CPU-Z
• Upload a screen shot in your next reply

How to post a screen shot:

• With the window up you want to post a screen shot of
• Press Print Screen
  (Press Alt + Print Screen to only capture the active front window)
  (Print Scree is usually top and to the right after the "Fn" keys)
• Click Start
• Click All Programs
• Click Accessories
• Click on "Paint"
• Once opened, Press CTRL key and keep holding, then Press the V
• Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
• Save as file type JPEG only and save it to your Desktop
• Attach it in your next reply
