On one of the tech sites they said that Intel told them under 100C was in operating range in the Brix Pro review. I'll try to post a link if I can find it.

"Intel says that 100C load temperatures are within spec, but many of our readers will end up avoiding this system due to the temperatures and fan noise."
EDIT - During emulation, the CPU stays locked at a constant 3GHz. I would assume that means it is fine around 90C, or wouldn't it revert to the 2.7GHz stock or lower? I am not knowledgeable in these things, so I could easy be off.
My fan never goes above 2600RPM, but I think the reviews of the i7 version say it goes up to 4000RPM.
I probably will end up putting some Arctic MX-4 on someday.
The SSD seems stable at 64C with wifi and BT active (mid 50s when not active) and the fan at idle speed. When the fan kicks up to 2500RPM, the temp drops to 58C. Perhaps it was the maintenance that kicked up the temp before.
