6900K max temp Question

I am looking at over clocking my CPU and I want to get the most out of it. For this reason I want to only do a max temp text with a pretty stressful load as opposed to an incredibly stressful load. However just in case I do want to set my computer to automatically shut off when I pass safe temps. So, what would you recommend I set the auto shut off value at? I want it to be as high as possible without significantly risking damage to the CPU so it's not just randomly shutting off when it really doesn't HAVE to.

Thank you!

Your system should already automatically turn off when the cpu gets too hot. 

For oc'ing, try to keep temps below 80-90c when stress testing.

as long as it doesnt go over 90c, you're fine.
