Nope. It will auto-shutdown first. Steel has over 1kC melt point. Silicon has it at 1400C. Plastics will be first but they too need over 100C constant and on the point heatsource. That software is measuring temp at the core of CPU, not near plastics of laptop.

Just turn that poor thing off and get a new cooler or fix the seating of it...

 

I just got this brand new Mac, because my old one caught on fire (idk how, but it did). I don't see why I would already need to get new cooler, but I did change the position. Even after I changed the position of the mac, I still got the same temps. I am just waiting for one more part to come in the mail, and I will be able to build myself a computer.

what are you running to achieve these temperatures?

The actual heat death of a computer is way higher but those temps at a long time will shorten the life span of your parts considerably

Just running a couple applications (Browser with 4 tabs and I have Microsoft word open). I am giving it a ton of air, but it still gets really hot.

Ok, thanks! My old Mac got to 200C somehow, and then it just died.
