without getting damaged

I'm planning on getting a new CPU fan, but I need to know if it's relatively safe to run it on a temperature that high.

Isn't that literally over the boiling point? When mine used to hit 50°C, I would flip out (Stock Celeron D, 2.53) - You might want to see if your heat sink is clogged (Along with the other good suggestions) - Get a few cans of air from Wal-Mart, and just blow the stuffing out of it, literally. Otherwise, get a good fan and heat sink, and some good paste (Don't need alot of it) - I think mine's "Arctic Silver", and it did the job for me (Now at around 37°C). Good luck to you!
Also, it wouldn't hurt to get another fan for the motherboard (If there isn't already one), they're pretty cheap, for a 3".

It is NOT good to run it at such a high temp. Depending on who makes your CPU, ie AMD or Intel, go to their site and look up the recommended temps for your CPU. I can almost assure you that 116 is way too high. Most CPUs run 45-75 C...Never at 116. It will eventually burn out.

You are probably already above the operating maximum temperature for your particular CPU. Many times the operating temperature is also listed on the back of the fan unit.
However, check the URL below for more inforamtion and please, DO NOT USE ICE to cool down your CPU!

I am not sure what the highest temp is but for God sake dude, shut your computer off. You'll fry your processor running it at 116 Celsius!

It varies between CPUs, but I'd get worried at anything above 70 Celsius for any significant amount of time.

HOT HOT HOT! STOP, you are frying your processor. Athlon 64 processors' max. safe case temp is from 68 t0 78°C, Core 2Duo up to 73°C and mobile processors up to 100°C. Your temp readings could be inaccurate that is why your processor is still working.
But change that cooler immediately and be sure to apply thermal paste.

Have the pc on a delicate solid floor no longer your mattress, lap and so on. they are beginning to call maximum laptops nowdays notebooks so human beings do no longer placed them on there laps and so on. If its on a delicate floor (Like your lap) it reduces air bypass below and it probable blocks the fan (some laptops, like mine, have the fan on the realm.) Open the backside of your pc authentic (you may see srews below and un srew them). this could reveal your RAM, and so on. Use compressed air (Bottled air) and spray the climate. this might blow off the dirt and the different issues on your hardware performing as insulation. additionally get a cooling Pad

Intel and AMD have a clip off temp of around 185-190° they will shut off. But if yours is running that high then your fan is completely gone/quit. Even if you have some fan usage it will be around 85-100° aleast. Thanks

If your computer runs that hot use a liquid cooling system, sure it is expensive, but it is even more expensive to try and salvage all your files from a melted hard drive.
