Well right now I'm priming my 2500+ XP M at 2.5ghz @ 1.8 volts, and it's hitting 63 degrees under load (According Asus Probe). Now usually my system loads around 55-58 degrees, (usualy I run it at 2.3ghz @ 1.65 volts). Am I'm running into the situation where my CPU's going to die on me in a few years?

What HSF are you running? Mobiles will usually take a bit more heat than the normal CPUs since they are cherry picked for running lower voltage and all that other stuff. I still wouldn't run the CPU over 60C although that is my personal opinion. You may want to look at getting a different HSF or make sure the one you have is completely clean.
Kingwin AWC-1 ... it's a low-end water cooler 
I used to run a SLK-800 with a 92mm Panaflo... and I actually couldn't do anything over 1.7's with that HS/F setup... otherwise the COP will kick in.
Yeah.. I was thinking anything over 60 is kind of hairy. Thinking I might just back it down to 2.4ghz @ 1.7 (doesn't hope over 58 at that point), but wanted to see how high it can go.
Right now I do have some mods with the AWC-1. I took the Rad out of the 5.25 bay and put it in front of that Panaflo 92mm at the back of my Full tower case, and I mounted the GPU heatsink on my nForce 2 Chipset.
It seems to be stable although I've only run Prime for about 5 hours.
What are the temperatures that people are getting with these chips though?

For comparison with yours:
Mobile Barton 2600+ at 2.5Ghz 1.6volts - 50C under load constantly using UD.
When I clock it up to 2.7Ghz, the heat shoots way up to where I need all my fans running at full speed to keep it cool enough so it doesn't crash. I can't remember the highest temp for sure, but I think it was pushing 70C.
This is the cooler I am using:

The fact is that running a cpu at these kind of temps isn't going to drastically shorten their life.
Take my dads work for example. in the labs they have Athlon XPs running at around 67 degrees because of the crappy Al heatsinks and the fact that there are about 30 in a room with bad air conditioning and locked windows.
I have heard that overvolting and running them at higher clockspeeds does shorten the lifespan but I'm yet to be convinced. I'll believe it if my proc packs up and dies within a year
