CPU and MB danger temps?

[Guest]

I have a ASUS CUSL2 MB with a Pentium 3 800 Mhz 133 Mhz chip. I'm wondering at what temps I should set MBM5 (Motherboard Monitor 5) to shut down the computer. Rather I'd like to know what temperatures are dangerous, and using that info, I'll pick my own temps to shut down at, since shut down isn't immediate. Currently running the dnet client, I've got CPU at 120 F and MB at 93 F.

Well
i have always know for a cpu can handle up to 70C

so..
my Athlon 800 is set to turn off at 60

check how hot urs is when tis on for a long time
say its 30-40 range
set it to 55-60
then u have a safety net
=)

For PIII: I think its max temperature is about 90*C. I've foudn that anything near 60*C would make it glitchy though.
