Knowing that AMD processors are set to just keep pushing power into them until they are just below their thermal limit is why I set the minimum and maximum power usage for it to 99% instead of 100. It might be okay for the CPU to run ~95c all the time; I don't know if the same is true for the motherboard it is slotted into. I'd rather just not see it go higher than 85c.
