How hot is too hot?

[Thing2008]

I have the i7-4710HQ and the max it has gotten to is 76 C is that too hot?

Not for a laptop processor. It can safely peak at 100C: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-4710HQ%20Mobile%20processor.html
But cooler is always better. If you find it is at that temp all the time, you may need to do a bit of cleaning.
