What is the maximum temperature an Antminer S3 ASIC can run at without degrading the hardware?

You should keep it between 50 and 60 C or less. My S3+ at stock speed runs between 40 and 50C in over 30C ambient temps. Over 70 C is bad for the hardware. Unless you disable it, the firmware will turn the miner off if either chain temp reaches 80 C.
