i5 i7 Temperature

Does Core i5/i7 can be burn out at 105c?

105C is dangerously hot for a CPU. It should be throttling before then, and it will start taking damage around that temperature.

I dont know. I have never seen one get that high. typically you dont want your chip to go past the high 60s.
I have never heard of a chip going over 100c. I cant imagine its healthy. do you have a heat sink on it?

But according to this article, 105c is a safe temperature

No absolutly not. 105c is an insane temp. I would take the cooler off and check it to make sure you peeled off any platic tabs or films on the bottom of the heat sink, then put fresh thermal paste on ( just a small dot in the center) and refix the heatsink, make sure its flat and secure.
you really want your idle temps to be in the 30-40c range. 100c is boiling water temp.

Unless my research paper skimming skills have horribly failed me, they do not mention temperature anywhere in that article, let alone what is and is not a safe temperature. That isn't the point of that article anyway, it was looking at reducing clock speed to reduce power so a workload takes longer but may require less total energy to complete.

You also have to be aware that what is and is not a safe temperature varies depending on the process used to make the chip. GPUs are built differently so 90C while hot isn't a critical temperature, but for CPUs 75C and up CPUs can start to throttle to protect themselves since their process doesn't result in as much heat tolerance.
