at about 80-100 degrees C but i believe most motherboards have a feature that will shutdown your computer when it gets too hot! which you should definately enable.

you should definately get a non-stock heatsink and fan for your cpu if you intend on overclocking as they'll desipate heat better possibly increasing the maximum stable overclock speed
