Mine runs at about 50C normally and often runs like that for days / weeks on end (three weeks is about the most I've run it for without a reboot), I have it set mine to auto-shutdown at 75C, but should apparently work at anything up to about 90C.
My spec is XP1900+ @ 1692Mhz (12.0x141Mhz, 282Mhz FSB, 353Mhz memory), more details avail. if required.
I'm sorry, the link I posted before didn't work, so I deleted the thread. Your CPU's maximum operating temperature, according to AMD, is 90ºC. They don't specify it's normal operating temperature, but I wouldn't let it go above 85º C...just in case...
Then I remove the stock thermal pad and used Coolermaster thermal grease and got down to 35 C minimum with windows open...Usually when the window is closed and the heat is off, it gets to 42 to 49 C. but when the heat is on and the window is closed it stays about 49 but never above 55

Well for me it's 28c in my room, 36 in my case with the side off, and the CPU idle is at 45c 50c full load tops. When oc'd to 1800mhz it is 49c idle and 55c full load with case open. When I close the case (right now it is seeming to have a cooling problem) the system temp jumps to 40c and the CPU to 50c idle and 59c full load stock and when oc'd system is 53c and CPU is 57c idle and 64c full load. Never once had it hang or restart either.
Two 120mm Panasonic Hi-Flo's keep my system running fairly cool. It's an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ running at stock speed with the OEM fan. I just bought it and am waiting for my processor fan to come in before I start overclocking.
The problem with having such large case fans is that they're a real bane to system cleanliness. You would believe how much dust, dirt, and hair (not to mention small animals) end up in my system after a short period of time.
Oh well, have to take the work with the play, right?
107F is just under 42C. That's a very decent temp, so no need to worry.
Although AMD processors have a max. temp rating of 90C, you won't even be able to reach that temp before the system shuts down.
Temps above 60C will usually start causing weird system problems and over 70C will really start causing problems, such as rebooting or shutting down completely.
