It depends on what the T-Case of your cpu is.
(Quote from the article): You will not begin to throttle because of temps until you are approximately 20C above Thermal Specification. For example, the Thermal Specification (Tcase) of the Q6600 G0 is 71C. At approximately 91C, it will begin to thermally throttle. This then makes sense why the TJ Max target is 90C Not sure if this was mentioned already or not, but after reading this, from what I'm understanding, If an Intel i3 core is overclocked to 4ghz with a Thermal Specification (T-Case) of 72.6°C, then the pc will not begin to thermally throttle until approximately 92.6°C which would mean TJ max would be set at about 91.6°C. If all the above is correct, then I'm assuming for long term use and reliability, I would want to run my cpu at 70°C or less on max load, is that right? |

For long term use and stability, you could pretty much run your CPU up to almost 100°C and be fine, but your overclock will suffer and I don't really reccomend it. I choose 88°C as a personal limit, because above that I see alot of lose of stability in my overclocks.

| Moreover, if a device is subjected to these conditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within the functional operating condition limits, it will either not function, or its reliability will be severely degraded. |
