| At >60 intel's on/off protection thing kicks in anyways, making it harder and harder to get warmer, but less and less effective as a processor, more like a paper wieght. I'm pretty sure theres no risk of damage until 110-130(?) and by then the processor would 1.) throttle 2.) shut the system down. Intel has pretty 'decent' thermal protection. The circuitry is the temps I'd get worried about, esp if you can get the pressy down to low 60's with better airflow or maybe consider a better heatsink, even a cheapie better would drop you 10oC, which IS better for the life of the chip imo
