When is hot... too hot?

I just got done messing around with overclocking a little, and I'm afraid I might have be heading into trouble.

How hot is too hot for a cpu to be running? Right now I'm at about an average of 53C idle. And the hottest I've gotten is 57C. Any help?

Thanks guys

edit: I just did a quick 10-min stability test from my nvidia software, and the max/min temps are 66/53C, reported on the motherboard. CPUID actually measured core#0 at 43/63C and core#1 at 43/60C.
