Florian,

	AFAIK, temp limit is about 113 C to 125 C. When I compile, the fan does not
sound that loud, like I would like it to do it, but does hold the
temperature from 82 C to 87 C.

	I use laptop_mode and cpureqd to keep it cooling down while I use it and
it's awesome.

If you are using the Laptop to compile only, you are in my point of view,
wrong. You should use some sort of desktop or do things remotely. A laptop
is not to compile and burn it all day.

So, 87 C is OK for a full throttle CPU.
