CPU core temperatures up to 95 deg C and rising rapidly, as reported by 
a number of utilities including NZXT and CoreTemp.  Max junction 
temperature is given as 100 deg C, and I don't want to risk reducing the 
lifetime of my  CPU.

Maybe five or ten minutes at or above 100 deg C every few months might 
not make a noticeable lifetime difference, who knows?  I don't want to 
make a habit of it.  I wouldn't drive my car very long with a low oil 
pressure warning active, either.
