Depends on the platform. AM3+ CPU's are extremely sensitive to heat, they will throttle at around 62 degrees most of them.
Intel CPU's are more recent, used a more improved process, and likewise run cooler because they take less power. They can go up quite high (80 is the hard limit or something)
NEVER try this again. It should be noted that to enter BIOS, your CPU is experiencing VERY LITTLE load and you had it on for just two minutes. Properly mount your CPU fan before using it again.

your cpu auto shuts off at 99c over 100c not exactly sure but it will shut off depending on what system you have. just wait till you get some paste for it. so that you don't mess with the heart of your pc. you don't want to fry the chip. also what specs do you have

this should put your worries to rest
2 years ago i built the rig you see described in my sig below - my first PC build.
I relied on the Asus performance monitor utility to monitor my cpu temps (core temps) and it never showed higher than 67C.
For three months i rendered video files (1 - 1.5 hour jobs), and the rendering program is a core hog, it uses all 4 cores and shows 98-100% load whenever rendering.
Then for whatever reason i downloaded RealTemp temperature monitoring utility and discovered my cpu was really running at 99-100C - i couldn't believe it, so downloaded a few other temp monitoring utilities, including intel's and they all confirmed RealTemp's temperatures. Then i found threads of users complaining of ASUS's screwed up utility, creating conflicts in BIOS etc and not reporting accurate temps.
Intel has built into the cpu thermal limiters, at 99-100C the cpu automatically throttles it's load way down till the temps drop, but it's a self protection mechanism and it must work, as since then, whenever i use the intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) and let it go online to compare my results with others running the same motherboard & cpu, i am usually in the top 5%, score wise - so all those months of running it at 99-100C while rendering videos, had not done any discernible damage to the cpu.
BTW, the cause of the excessively high temps was a) i was using a crappy stock intel cooler and B) one of the plastic retaining pins had popped loose so the crappy little cooler was not even making proper contact with the CPU
