What is the safe temperature range for a processor?

Thanks Bala. I've applied thermal paste too, but temperature remained same. So, I guess what you said is right. Hope my system will stay good for few months. Thanks again for sharing your experience bro

NP it will last a few months sam bro. But maybe pc will be slow. But my temps were far higher so no need to worry. Wait for Rupee value to improve. I paid 4000Rs for processor as Rs was down. Once it improves you can get it cheap. Also note flipkart has no LGA775 processor. I recommend you to change to a motherboard which supports LGA1156 processors. There is one 1156 processor available for 3300Rs on flipkart.
