Many CPUs (Athlon XPs, for example) start cooking at 85-90C, while
others (some of the PIIIs) can fall over at 62C or so.  Depending on
your CPU, you'll probably want things a little cooler than you're
currently running  :)

Also, keep an eye on the voltage levels.  I've noted that if you
overdrive the +12V, your die temperature will go up very quickly.  You
might not need better cooling -- you may just need a better PSU.
