The "good" temperature range for desktop CPUs is probably something like this:

Idle: 30-40c

Load 50c-60c

Laptops are a lot different. They are made to withstand much higher temperatures.

Idle 40c-50c

Load 60c-90c

These are just really basic figures as there are a lot of factors that can affect CPU operating temperatures.
