What is the safe temperature range for a Core-i5 processor?

I'm just wondering if my processor I working under an acceptable temp. From what I have read 42 is pretty decent under idle conditions. But looking as Intel Extreme Tuning its appears red while every thing else is blue. Any suggestions?

What is you're specific i5 model? – wizlog Nov 28 '11 at 4:54
It looks like it is a bug with the reading. Does it say 429 Million degrees? – roviuser Nov 28 '11 at 4:57
Hotter than the photoshphere of the sun - decent! :] – Killercam Nov 28 '11 at 5:16

Idle temperatures are basically meaningless. They just measure how much the fan is able to slow down. – David Schwartz Nov 28 '11 at 5:25

The i5 should be able to operate at approx. 90 ish... see this question.

Your temperature monitor is off. You may just be missing a decimal point to get to the real temperature, but as of now, it seems to think that your processor is about half a billion degrees centigrade. That puts it just slighly out of normal bounds.

Your voltage meter is off also.
