17 R4, i7-7700HQ, safe temperature limits?

Question

Intel states the T Junction maximum allowed temperature is 100°C. But what is the safe temperature limits for an i7-7700HQ? I see 91-94°C temperatures, re-pasted (MX-4) and cleaned fans and vents also. Anyone have a solution for lowering the temperatures?

hi MissieRe,

For other PC like XPS 15-9570, the temperature should not exceed 94°C. But since Intel states max is 100°C for your specific CPU, anything up to that should be fine.

That's really hot considering while gaming. On my 2016 15 R3 with the i7-7700HQ, it doesn't hit past 76°C.

17 R4, using about 1.5 years. First days it didn't pass the 82°C. But now hits the 95°C (my new record). I re-pasted again (CM Mastergel Maker Nano) its not different.
