I think its between 80 - 90 is there max before they go up in smoke but if you have it in the 60's you would be ok.

I remember reading a topic here within the last 2/3 weeks saying that amd xp2100+ was amds worst made chip for heat resistance.. mine is at 39c now and the system is 29c
Its been on for 4 days, and before that was on for about 4 weeks straight just had to reboot there 4 days ago.
Its been at 100% cpu load for the past 2 days
I've got 2 80mm fans, on on side exhaust and one at the back for suction , and one on the cpu

Have a look at Toms Hardware CPU Guide for a listing of heat tolerances n stuff

It's 85-90 degrees for Athlon XP's.
