CoreTemp registers up to 61 degrees celsius on my desktop Core 2

Just so you know im fairly sure core 2's temp threshold ends at 60 (or so I have read multi times on multi sources as well as plot telling me this) you could be doing damage to your cpu running at that temp. On full-load mine runs at 49/50 @ 3.1ghz.
Make sure your case is well ventilated and that you put your heatsink on right (not too much, too little thermal paste, etc) Also check the heatsink for dust build up. Also did you burn your heatsink in? Do you have too much voltage going to your cpu? If I was you I would be scared at 61. What are you running it at, Im just wondering how you got temps that high, even on the stock heatsink/cooler at 3.1ghz I was only getting around 58/59 on full load.
