Most everything is measured in C.  Temps vary from system to system.  There are many variables.  Ambient room temp, thermal compound used on CPU NB and SB.  Are your voltage regulartors digital, whats the CFM's in and out of your case.  What HSF are you using, what video card are you using etc etc.

CPU temp is what most look at and there are two temps to watch, CPU temp and Core temps,  Under full load you don't want your core temps over 60^C That is high but still in the safe zone.  If your system is NOT overclocked you should be in the high 30's to mid 40^C.  Again there are many factors that come into play here.

If you're running an Intel CPU, you can find the specs on it - including max temp - here (http://processorfinder.intel.com/default.aspx).

And the folks who wrote CPUID also have a monitoring program, here (http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php).
