How high is too high on a system temp sensor?

I took the HSF off and put on some AS3 on it. Since I have almost no arflow through the case at the moment, my system temp is getting close to 60c.

THAT IS HOT MY FRIEND, very hot. My system is room temp, but the temps are measured from my chipset so it stays around 30c(too hot in my opinion)

Also, can i interest you in some very cheap fans?

I think my sensor is in between the CPU and the Chipset. I really don't know, but I'm hoping that that's a little off.

You should be more concerned with how hot your cpu is running and if it is stable or not.

I was, but it is well within what I was at on air. The system temp is kinda scary, though.
