I've looked around for an answer to this for a while, and have found many conflicting answers. I've heard that it shouldn't be allowed to go higher than 45C or so, and I've also heard that 55C is a safe limit. I'd really appreciate some clarification.

It depends on the individual CPU, take a look at the Intel Core 2 Quad Specification site and click on your CPU to find out. It looks like average thermal specification is between 60c-70c, with some being higher | |||

Usually anything in the 40-60 range is safe. If you hit the 60s or 70s you need to check your cooling solution. I believe most motherboards (double check yours) have a fail safe now where if your temp reaches a certain threshold, your system will power off. | |||

Anywhere from 25C to 55C is safe. | |||
