fx60 how hot is too hot?

[Gerard]

Running it at stock in a shuttle, according to coretemp both cores underload (orthos) are hitting around 68c each.

Now according to amd HERE the max temps should be 65c. Ive read however that the fx series do tend to run a bit hotter. The other dilemma is how accurate is coretemp? Theres probably a laundry list of temp testing programs all which will show somewhat different results, what exactly do we trust these days? (even xpc tools is showing different temps from coretemp)

Shuttle is an sn25p with 1 sata hdd 2 gig of ram and an x1900xt.
