So recently I got into 3d rendering with Daz 3D and when I start rendering, my cpu temps rise up slowly to 75° - 88°C (about 15 - 30 mins per image) depending on the complexity of the scene. I would love to know what temps would begin to damage my cpu and or how I can shave a few degrees off of my temp under load. (goal = 80°C max)

Specs
CPU: i7 4790K
GPU: MSI 980 ti
Motherboard: z97 Msi Gaming 5
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212
 
Solution
With that cooler I'd expect those sort of temps under a consistent 100% load. Best thing you can do is try dropping vcore tiny bits and see if the CPU will remain stable. If so temps should fall some
