I have a p4 3.0ghz cpu stock that runs at about 85 degrees. I usually run it at 3.2ghz and the normal temp is about 100. Its been very stable and as long as you dont neglect your case, you should be fine.
I recently built my own PC. The only problem I had was the CPU temp; like most people. I also have a p4 3.0ghz cpu. However, I found that the stock heatsink is not really that good. CPU temp was between 57-70 degrees C. I immediately changed the stock heatsink to one i bought,an Artic Cooling Super Silent Pro 4. This brought my CPU temperature to 36-41 (idle) and 60-64 (100%) when rendering. I would recommend you get a better heatsink.
