What part? Is it instable? Generic answer would be a
threshold of about 70C, give or take depending on the
frequency (higher frequency needs slightly lower temp to
stay stable, all else being equal)

So what temp do you have? What is temp of your systems location (room
temp)?

Both AMD and Intel have Thermal and Mechanical Design Guides for their various
CPUs and systems. Go to the page for your CPU series and follow the links to
the appropriate tech manual.

This is for the TEMP of the Motherboard, not the CPU.

CPU, case, and environmental temps are all quoted in the various documents.
Did you look at any of them?

You're not asking the right question.
There is no motherboard temp. Chipset? Which one? How are
you taking the reading? Do you expect an answer where the
person answering puts forth more effort than you were even
willing to make in asking?

Yes but the URL is gone from this thread, because it's setup to
keep/watch me only.

In terms of chipsets, Intel offers datasheets for download. Companies like
SIS do not.
To give some examples, these are max case temperatures for some Intel
chipset parts. The first group are Northbridges, the second are Southbridges.
ICH9 Tcase_max = 110C 4.3W (when used with no heatsink)
ICH5 115C 2.4W
This is just based on the datasheets from Intel I have on disk.
Basically, what this means is, intermediate temperatures are not likely
to exceed the maximum case temperature. A high chipset temperature,
can affect the ability to overclock (on a Northbridge) and might
affect stability. The instability might not even be temperature related, but
rather have something to do with an excessive voltage boost the motherboard
manufacturer is applying to the chipset. In any case, you might see a
stability effect (system crash), before the temp is hot enough to damage
the part.
If you see a temp like 45C, that is barely above human body temperature (37C)
and is nothing to worry about.
The main concern, is confusion in the labeling of the sensors. If you
thought a sensor was measuring case air temperature, via a thermistor
situated on the surface of the motherboard, then 45C for a case air temp is
a bit on the high side, for a well ventilated case. But it we are talking
about not a computer case air temperature, but the temperature inside
one of the chipset chips, then 45C is nothing.
65C would be sufficient to burn you, assuming you could gain access to the
top surface of the package. A human can remain in contact with a 65C surface
for a second or two, before the discomfort is too great. I've used that
fact, in the lab, as a means of guessing the temperature of parts. Also
remembering, that for small parts (ones small enough to be completely
covered by your finger), the very act of putting your finger over them,
insulates them and makes them hotter :-)
