coretemp 70C = CPU too hot?

Also something to keep in mind, most (all?) new procs have thermal
cuttoffs that will kill themselves before any damage happens. If you
box hasn't shut down in weird ways or underclocked itself, you are
probably good to go. It's something to keep your eye on, but I
wouldn't worry too much about it if you aren't experiencing any
problems.
