    Basically title says it all, I have the U5400 R2 model, CPU was at 60 degress while playing BF2BC after an hour... no extra cooling was used, what would be the maximum temperature the CPU SHOULD get it? :confused:

    Your cpu can go up to 105c before it will cause harm, so 60c is actually good. You shouldn't worry unless it starts to get to 90c or higher.

    As far as I know, R2 model can go as high as 80 C while in gaming mode and that is normal. So 60 is ok.
    My r1 (The model with the lower temps) in gaming mode without a cooler, or mods, can get temps of 65-70 Max while doing hardcore gaming
