Question What is a safe temperature to be running...?? mr. worried is at it again.

Ok, so it's like 90*F outside now with TONS of humidity.

well I noticed, with the A/C on, the temp gets as high as almost 210*F!! Is this hot enough to cause any damage? It'll usually sit at like 190 then after some acceleration it's up to 200-205+, but not past the 210 mark.

I have searched this site and the FSM but no one seems to konw the safe operating temp range...

Oh yeah, and at night when it's nice and cool, like 70 out, it's around 175*F....
