Stability becomes an issue when you excede 50C (Depends on the quality of your chip thogh I think, since mines running stable at 50C right now), you also significantly reduce the lifespan of you chip by running it above 50C. Not that big a problem considdering how often people upgrade CPUs but if you (Like I do) want your CPU to last longer than about 1 1/2 years its a good idea to get some decent cooling going in you case.
Also on a side note, I have never known an AMD chip to make it past POST into windows running above 65C (So I think that 85C - 90C thing is a bit of a lie on AMDs part).
