I've had my AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz (black edition, I believe) for around 1 year now without any problems. And I remember it running hot when I first installed it too (57c: running hot according to others).
According to AMD OverDrive, the temp of my CPU is 56-58c by just writing this post; and when I run the stability test (CPU working at 100%) it jumps to 80c (and goes above that depending on how hot my room is).
I'm using Windows 7 x64, my motherboard is ASUS M4A79XTD EVO. And I'm using the fan that came with my CPU.
Last night I ran the stability test for 1 hour and it was at 78-85c and it never crashed, shutdown, or anything, even though I've been told it should have long before that temp. A big factor with my comp temp is my room since I have no air conditioning and it can get very hot in here.
Here are some stats I took from OverDrive while running the stability test:

Oh yeah, and my CPU fan was running at around 5000 rpms during the test.
What should I do?
Also, how do I know whether or not I've done any damage to my CPU?

Left is running the overdrive stability test for 15 mins. Right is idle.
