Well, in my instance, it was uncomfortable to hold my hand on the 
outside of the computer case. The case was running well over 100 degrees 
F. Possibly 120 or so. With the computer case that hot I didn't need to 
know the processor and power supply temperatures were way to high for 
reliable long term safety.

That's in a room where I maintain about a 75 to 80 degree ambient 
temperature at all times.
