Acceptable CPU temperature range of idle computer?

[Felix Karpfen <felixk@webone.com.au>]

Since upgrading from Sarge to Etch, my CPU temperature appears to be
running 5-10 deg.C higher; immediately after booting it is a healthy 30
deg.C and it creeps up to 45-50 deg.C within an hour.  On the idle (?)
computer there are some 120 processes running and the system load is about
40%.

Am I heading for a problem?

The documentation says that the CPU is:

"Socket 478 for Intel4/Celeron"

and I have failed to locate any reference to an acceptable temperature
range.

All advice will be gratefully received.
