I'd hope that's in Fahrenheit. Make sure you know what units the temperature is reporting in. It's alright for a CPU to run up to 130-135o Fahrenheit, but that's only about 55-57o Celsius. If your CPU is running over 60-70o Celsius, there's a cooling problem. Most CPU dies are only rated to 80-85oC, any hotter than that and they'll burn out pretty quickly.
