I think my cpu is a tad too hot...

I just upgraded to an AMD X4 965 (125watt version) and it idles from 38C-50C (although my room is freaking hot), and while playing BFBC2 today it hit 70C! Is that in the danger zone? I haven't oc'd it yet as there is no need...Also since its summer and it does get hot, should I invest in one? Could someone recommend one that is easy to install ( as in i don't need to take out the mobo)?

That's too hot. Have you tried reseating the heatsink? You'll need some thermal paste if you do that. I'm also curious about the ambient temp in your room.
