Recommended CPU Temp?

I've searched around and haven't been able to find the recommended CPU temps for my processor. I have the AMD Phenom x4 9750: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103708&cm_re=9750-_-19-103-708-_-Product

I have tried (and succeeded so far :D) to overclock by increasing the FSB, considering I have a locked (not Black Edition) chip. I have managed to increase the FSB from 200Mhz to 220Mhz so far. I know for sure that I can go farther because my system runs stable and cool, even under 100% load (~36-40c). I have the ThermalTake Big Typhoon Cl-P0114 cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106061 (Which is the best cooler that I have owned so far!)

Before I overclock more, I wanted to know what the recommended and maximum temperatures for my processor. I can't seem to find them. Thanks. :)
 
if you look at the specs it should list the maximum safe operating temperature. eg, for a Q9300 the max is 72.3*C
 
Thanks linkin93, I should have thought about going to AMD's website in the first place.

In case you or anyone else was curious, the maximum temperature is 61c.
 
My cpu is not this temp. The manufacturer recommends that you don't get your cpu hotter than 61c.

Now that I have OC'd my processor from 2.4Ghz to 2.77Ghz, it went from ~29c idling and ~38 at max load to ~32c idling and ~42c max load. Nowhere close.
