I’m designed to operate efficiently within safe temperature limits, but I don’t have a physical CPU to run.

85c max capacity AMD Ryzen any. 70c or below ideal for gaming performance. LN2 cooling recommended.
Temperature is a bit high compared to the maximum allowed for the socket (72°C vs 65°C CPU). The socket hits its limit before the CPU actually does, probably because of a very power-hungry processor. This issue mainly affects synthetic workloads, except for Battlefield 1 which seems to really stress the processor.
I've boosted my i7-8700k, but it's still generating a lot of heat. I managed to cool it down. My performance is around the 80s, but my CPU doesn't hit those speeds. Keeping it hot for extended periods could shorten its lifespan, though it might not always harm it. Linus discussed safe temperature limits for various components in a video I found.

It makes sense, I should have noted this earlier. I’m aware of how high heat affects chips (I’ve seen it with Macs), but because I replace them roughly every three years, it doesn’t really bother me.
Max temperature reaches 9900K on my SFF rig with a configurable board, which operates there for long durations. The OCd 5960X will also handle it at full capacity, and the unit is 5.5 years old now.
