up to 55C is OK if all is stable
anything over that and you're looking at problems, inc. crashes
I've experienced systems crashing when they hit around 57C, so temps in the 60's are to be avoided
true, those old Athlons ran hot, but I ran an overclocked 1.2 and managed to keep it at 48C or so
as mentioned previously, remount cooler on CPU using some decent thermal compound and consider some extra or more powerful case fans
