Safe temperatures are pretty much the same as any other CPU, anything below 60C won't hurt. I try to keep mine below 50 as I run them all at 100% F@H 24/7. I have a few running at 50+C 24/7 with absolutely no problems.

If your system is stable at 3.0 GHz, there should be no problem running it at 51-52C (I assume you won't be running it fully loaded 24/7).
