On basic systems I usually see my systems run between 105oF (~40oC) and 122 oF (50oC). If I see it get much past the 122oF range I start to wonder what to do next. The limit for the solder in the area is on the order of 80-85oC ... now that is a rough guess and depends on the type of solder, etc. I would say you are in the right range and do not need to be worried a whole lot.
