A week or so ago we were having a discussion about CPU temperatures. While this is from pcworld.com, it probably is pretty close to the temp requirements for our processors. From the article:

Each time you increase the speed, you should use a utility like <snip> pc program reference <\snip> to check the CPU's temperature while you stress the system by encoding video or playing a 3D game. If the core temperature rises above 60 degrees centigrade, or if you experience any system instability (crashes, corrupt graphics, etc.), roll back to the next-lowest setting and stay there.

Since 60° C is 140°F, if your heatsink is too hot to keep your finger on for a couple of seconds, it is too hot for the processor.

Don't know if this helps anyone, just wanted to throw it out there.
