What is your maximum temp?

As title. What is your maximum temperature on your core?
Do you care to stay under 80c or you comfortably go over 80c?
 
I'm already uncomfortable when temps get into the 70s. It depends on context though, particularly the ambient temp, and if this is real-world usage or some kind of stress test.
 
I don't let mine anywhere near 80. I haven't run a log in a couple years, but I don't think it ever got anywhere near 80.
 
Just ran prime for 15 minutes on my 2500K. After 15 minutes my maximum core temps were 62-67-70-66. That's using a Megahalems and 4 year old AS5 :p
 
I always shoot for under 80c at full load, not specific reason just what I have chosen to do.
 
All depend, while benching or stability stressing my machine, it never go over 70C hottest core tend to peak at 68C with averages of ~64, while heavy gaming i'm in the upper 50s peaking at 60C with the most intensive games, generally ranging between 40C~53C and average of 45C. (i do not count light gaming because is kinda irrelevant)

As I moved my machine to the server room the ambient temp its heavy controlled at 18-20C no more no less depending of the exterior conditions hour and temperature, so it's generally consistent all the day, this is the reason I never delided the little ivy it run comfortably cold.
 
I keep it under 70C personally.

I've been told these CPUs are pretty god damn hard to kill off. I splurged on a 5960x so I'd like it to last a bit though.
 
I run a custom liquid cooling loop which keeps my CPU temps less than 64c under load. Rig in sig.
 
Right now I try to keep mine under 60c for normal tasks and thus far even under prolonged video encoding I have yet to breach 60c.
 
Mine stays relatively cool so I don't really worry about it,

Simple Intel stress test (nothing grand) but temps don't even hit the 40's in a 21C room temp.
 
2600K under water that stays in the 60's under synthetic load. I would probably be okay to get to the mid 70's under synthetic load if I wanted to overclock a little more. No real reason for mid 70's, just a number that seems good.
 
I usually don't care much about temps. As long as an OC'ed CPU stays at least 10°C under throttle temp when pushing an extreme load like Linpack or Prime95 Small-FFT and remains perfectly stable under such loads for hours on end, I'm happy.
 
When running Prime 95 for 24 hours, my maximum temp was 80C (although under normal usage & gaming it doesn't get that high). However, my 4.6ghz 2600k has been overclocked for nearly 4 years now and still runs like a champ. Personally I'm comfortable with up to 85C as longs as it's stable.
 
This is while running Folding at Home for the [H] team (5960x). Around 60C, where I like it. I like to think keeping temps under wraps helps offset the extra voltage. I once read for every 10C lower in temp it doubles your life.

4770k under water and usually stays somewhere between 45~50c under load
 
I like to stay under 75C. The peak was after I batch processed about 10gb of pictures which is usually the most cpu intensive thing I do these days.
