As hot as it needs to be. Different CPUs have different temperatures they can run at safely. You'll generally find that in documentation on the CPU.
A good Heat sink will be able to bleed heat off the CPU effectively and never let it get too hot.
As a good rule of thumb however, never let them get over 65 Degrees Celsius. Again, this is "most" cases. Not all. Check with your hardware manufacturer.

What is the function of a processor heat sink?
To sink the heat.
What is the purpose of a heat sink in a computer?
Heat sinks are very important components in computers. The purpose of heat sinks in computers is to keep the computer from overheating. The heat sink removes heat from the processor, keeping the processor cool.
A device that absorbs and draws heat from a hot object dispersing it into the surroundings is which one of the following?
Heat sink
What is the purpose of the heat sink on a processor?
A heat sink is designed to disperse and transfer heat coming from a processor to an outside medium, so that it does not overheat the actual processor chip. It is usually used in conjunction with a fan to cool the device it is installed on.
What is the purpose of heat sink installed on a processor?
To cool the processor
Is a clip-on device that mounts on top of the processor at its base pull the heat away from the processor?

Benefit of heat sinks in CPU?
It keeps your processor from melting. Do not run a PC without a heat sink on your processor. Processors can get to extremley high temperatures. The heat sink absorbs this heat and removes it using a fan.
What is the purpose of the copper or aluminum between a processor and the fan on a computer motherboard?
The heat sink absorbs the heat from the processor and then the fan disperses the heat.
Is a clip-on device that mounts on top of the processor?

What Device Helps Move Heat Away From A Processor?
A heat sink is a device commonly used to help move heat away from a processor. It consists of metal fins that absorb and dissipate heat generated by the processor through conduction and convection. In some cases, a fan is attached to the heat sink to enhance heat dissipation.
The cooler sits on top of the processor and consists of a fan and a heat?

When you buy i5 do you get a heat sink with it?
If you buy a retail boxed processor, yes. You do get a heatsink fan (HSF) with the processor.
