Average Temperature of AMD chips

Looking around and it seems AMD chips run hot : )
Mines a 2000 in a 2u case with a Thermaltake Slim Volcano 8se (which kicks ass on the stock cooler that came with the chip BTW) and is averaging 52 degrees Celsius 125F. Everyone I've talked to seems to think that's fine. True?

Also what temp should the chip not exceed? AMD lists the chips up to 85 Celsius (which is insane) so I picked 64 c to shut the machine down and 60 for warnings.

I expect when it gets dropped in a rack the average will go up a few degrees. Anybody got experience with this kind of stuff? Stories? Recomendations?

Thanks,
Iggy
