Any temp under 80C is good if you're PC doesn'st lock up. Pretty sure that's
the spec on the cpu.

Actually the max spec is 85C, but to run run anywhere close to that is
just plain stupid. With good case/cpu cooling it should idle under 40C
(thermistor reading), and not much more than 50C under full load. I don't
have a board that reads on die temp, but the values should exceed the
thermistor values by much more than 10C. Running a CPU with a die temp of
80C is not good any way you look at it. It's bad, very bad.
