    In laptops, generally neither. Max temp of ~100C for both. Keep below 70-80C if possible.

    They are both made of the same stuff. Crazy high temperatures can damage the core and things around the core.

    Take care of both. One cannot live without the other.

    HWMonitor should be able to do it close enough.
