    What are the maximum temperatures these hardware components can reach before it is considered dangerous for them? I would like to compile a list so I can use it for future reference.


    CPU
    Hard Drive
    GPU
    ACPI
    Other components (wireless cards, memory, bluetooth, etc.)

    I'd say keeping the hdd temp below 55C.

    CPU are rated like ~100, maybe more. Recommended is much lower than this, so is the idle temp, ~50-60. Max 70-80.
    GPU are around 100. Recommended is like 80, 90 is the max. (based on desktop chips)
    HDD are rated around 55-60, depending on the model (we've talked about this a lot already :p)
