Respectfully, you appear to be somewhat misinformed. If you're not sure, then don't post. When any Forum Member posts incorrect information, it becomes
misinformation, which is difficult to correct after it spreads throughout the community. Remember than others in the background read the threads without offering any comments, and may take away wrong information.
Unfortunately, Intel's Thermal Specification are written by engineers and edited by lawyers, so to most folks, they're about as clear as mud. The topic of processor temperatures is already confusing enough, so please research if you're not sure.
There's a wealth of information in the Stickies, and Tom's
does ask that you read them before you post.

Section 6 - Throttle Temperature
Also called "Tj Max" (Tjuction Max), this is the Thermal Specification that defines the Core temperature at which the processor will Throttle (reduce clock speed) to protect against thermal damage. Although Intel's Core i processors are capable of operating above
90C, we also know that excessive heat kills electronics.
Sustained Core temperature greater than 80C is too hot for stability or processor longevity.
Section 7 - Relative Temperatures
The relationships between Ambient temperature, CPU temperatures, Core temperatures and Throttle temperatures are shown below for several popular Quad Core processors. All values are based on Intel documentation. ...
-> Core i
1st Generation 45 Nanometer: i7 920 D0 (TDP 130W / Idle 12W)
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) =
67C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) =
72C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) =
100C
2nd Generation 32 Nanometer: 2500K / 2600K (TDP 95W / Idle 8W)
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) =
72C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) =
77C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) =
98C
3rd Generation 22 Nanometer: 3570K / 3770K (TDP 77W / Idle 4W)
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) =
67C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) =
72C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) =
105C
4th Generation 22 Nanometer: 4670K / 4770K (TDP 84W / Idle 2W)
<-----
4th Generation 22 Nanometer: 4690K (TDP 88W / Idle 2W)
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) =
72C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) =
77C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) =
100C
4th Generation 22 Nanometer: 4790K (TDP 88W / Idle 2W)
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) =
74C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) =
79C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) =
100C
The Core temperatures above show that
mid 70's are safe. At Standard Ambient 22C, here's the typical operating range:
80C
Hot
70C
Warm (Heavy Load)
60C
Norm
50C
Norm (Medium Load)
40C
Norm
30C
Cool (Idle) ... "
I hope this helps to clear up the confusion,
