"They start to thermal throttle usually at 99C or 100C. Anything less than that is within spec and shouldn't hurt anything. As long as your computer is stable then you don't have to be too concerned about your core temperature. Intel CPUs do a great job of looking after themselves."
I would say 90c is the max before meltdown/implosion or internal failure
Reply from Intel customer support: "The maximum operating temperature of the Intel® Core™ i5-750 Processor is 72.7 degrees Celsius. As long as the processor is operating under this temperature it is operating within specifications."

"Thermal Specification: The thermal specification shown is the maximum case temperature at the maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) value for that processor. It is measured at the geometric center on the topside of the processor integrated heat spreader. For processors without integrated heat spreaders such as mobile processors, the thermal specification is referred to as the junction temperature (Tj). The maximum junction temperature is defined by an activation of the processor Intel® Thermal Monitor. The Intel Thermal Monitor’s automatic mode is used to indicate that the maximum TJ has been reached."
