There is a certain operating range for each type of processor. As long as you install the proper heatsink and fan, your processor should never overheat. If you plan to overclock your processor, (make it work faster than it's really intended to) then you need to take the necessary steps to keep it cool. Such steps can include adding a bigger heatsink, a faster fan, and/or adding liquid cooled hoses to it.
