Any thing over 80C is a bit too high

The CPU will go up to 95c (iirc) before it starts to throttle, However you want to keep it well below that. As above, I'd generally go with 80c as a safe maximum. If it goes over that, You want to be looking at extra cooling or something.

80 or so for me in benchmarks but in general use it wont hit that.
