He said 136F, not 136C.  I don't think on the verge of frying his motherboard.

Depends if this is and Amd or Pentium. Also depends on other things, like is this your temp when just on the desktop, or when you have been playing games. An AMD can get quite hot, that temp you have if it is an AMD is reasonable, if you dont know much about overclocking i wouldnt do it, what works on one computer doesnt always work out on another.
