Holy! I get freaked out when mine starts hitting around 110.2F, or 
42.4C... And I am "fairly" sure that I start to see system stutter and 
more lag in games, when its hitting that, where are at 102F/39C, things 
run with little or no problems at all. I constantly fight with the 
others in the house because my room it usually 5-6 degrees warmer than 
the rest of the house, and the morons put the thermostat right outside 
the door of this room.

Mind, this isn't the temp from the internal sensor, its from one placed 
against the chip, and showing on the front panel, so it may be higher in 
reality. Still.. Yikes..

Hmm. Ok, the sensor on the front is showing 98.4->99F/36.88C->37.22C, 
while the sensor software is saying 38->40C. GPU is showing 48C, but I 
also have temps 1, 2, 3, HD and two cores (its a one core processor), at 
25C, 36C, 71C, 40C and 49C respectively. The 71X is showing a flame next 
to it, which I presume isn't necessarily good. lol
