What is a good temp to have the CPU be at?

Well?

I like to keep mine under 50 deg C, but that's quite conservative.

Agree with Zepper here Ideally under 50C on load. It is conservative under 60C is ussually safe though. As of right now my A64 goes to 61C on full load but that should change once my water cooling gets here.

My Barton 2500 OC'd to 3200+ runs at 38 idle and 46 full load with Zalman HS. The HS is as big as a melon, but it does a damn fine job of cooling.
