Have Amd 1333Mhz Chip
Asus A7A266 mobo.
Have a Blower Fan inside'& A Volcano Fan and Heatsink with Copper Core on the CPU and also a fan on my Graphics Card.

But i'm getting readings up to 66 degrees.
I know ASUS seem to add at least 10 Degrees on to the Temp Reading'but i just wanna ask if my CPU is within safe Limits or close to frying?

Thanx

I'm not familiar with ASUS mobos but if they are 10 degrees off then your running at 56 degress load and that is ok. Death temperature for your chip is 90 but of course you would get instabilities before it reached that high. So if your running stable and topping out at 56 your ok.
