Processor Temperature

Hi,

I have VMware ESXi 7.0.0. This question is regarding Processor temperature. The temperature is shows as below;

Sensor: Processor 1 Temp
Health: Green
Current Reading: 78 degrees C**

** Reading changes between 71 to 78 most of the time.

The hardware is as below;

Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Model: PowerEdge R440
CPU: 16 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5218 CPU @ 2.30GHz

Questions:
Can we determine what the "safe" operating temperature limits are for this processor? It is running between 70-78 degrees consistently. Is that going to damage the processor?

I tried to search for any limits or safe temperature ranges but couldn't find any.. Appreciate your kind assistance on this.

Thank you

As your post needs moving to the area for ESXi, I have reported it to the volunteer moderators.
