So what is the Maximum operating temperature (Tmax)? It's the highest temp at which a CPU or GPU can operate at full capacity. But fear not, if you're CPU or GPU reaches this temperature it will not burst into flames.

Modern processors and video cards have overheating safety measures that prevents them to damage. Usually when the maximum operating temperature is reached the CPU or GPU will underclock itself to reduce it's core temperature. This will result in massive FPS drops in video games, for a few seconds.

Reaching the maximum temperature for extended periods of times will eventual damage your processor or graphic card, so focus on finding the overheating source problem.
