Most CPUs will get to ~100C before shutting down to save themselves. The maximum temperature a CPU can take is called it's TJ Max.

Modern CPUs will throttle their performance as they approach this temperature though, so shutting down should be uncommon.

I remember playing wow on an old Walmart PC, raiding molten core my PC would overheat everytime about 30 mins into the raid without fail and just shut itself down and start beeping at me for like 20 mins while it cooled off.

I called tech support and told them my situation and what my PC was doing and the Indian dude I got just went "oooooh....thats not good" and didn't help much.

I came up with a crazy idea one night to hook up an AC window unit to the PC case with some duct tape ...and it fucking worked.
