I'm running the i7 2630QM.

Usually when I edit photos and what not (Photoshop + Lighroom) my CPU gets warm, say 60C, but not too much higher. However, I was just rendering some videos in Premiere Pro for less than 2 minutes and noticed my temps were getting high. Ambient temp is relatively cool, probably around 20C max. Max cpu temps were:
92C - 92C - 92C - 87C

It was also throttling around 2.58ghz rather than the 2.9ghz boost. Am I going to damage anything by doing these renders? Sometimes videos need a good 20+ minutes to render. I usually work on my desktop, but I don't have access to my desktop while at college.

Thanks!
 
Those temperatures are safe for your CPU. As for the lower Turbo Boost speed, that's because the 2630QM has a maximum Turbo Boost of 600MHz when all four cores are being used; it will go up to 2.9GHz when only one of the cores is fully loaded.
