what is the max temp a early 2015 macbook air can hit before it dies

I own an early 2015 MacBook air with a core i5 hd6000 graphics card and sometimes when you boot up the system the temps fly up to 150*f after 1-2 mins. once you open chrome 2-4 tabs the temps fly up to 180*f and once I'm in class zoom chrome and ti inspire usually open it tops out at 237 before it shut off showing a tv static-like screen. and yes I did take it to apple for a dead fan and it started to make noise again but it eventually fixed itself.

See this link about 'Operating temperature of Mac notebooks" ' - https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201640

It is conventional to report temperatures in °C.

Are you sure it did not fix itself dead?

There could also be a heating attachment issue to the CPU

resulting in not getting the heat from the CPU, to the heatsink

so the fan can cool it.

If you noticed this within 90 days of the repair, then you should take it back as the repair may likely be covered by the 90 day part/repair warranty (depending on how the laptop was repaired).
