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

80℃

That's the thermal shutdown temp. Realistically, you should have 40-50c ideally, but probably won't see any real problems in error rate until over 60c

Do you know or just think?

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 either chain temp reaches 80 C.

If you stop function - Stop running when temprerature is over 80℃ - then you need to restart with PSU

All depends on the frequency. Miner can work without errors over 80℃ width lower frequency.
frequency 218.75
Antminer C1 , 74-77 ℃ . Noo x or - , 0 hardware errors
