How hot is too hot?

Hi all,

just wondering when I should be switching off my camera and letting it cool down?

I ask because I was using my Canon 60d this weekend and it was connected to BackyardEOS, the software has a temp gauge and it was indicating that the sensor on the camera was at 32'c, at that point I decided to switch it off and call it a night.

I know that heat produces noise i.e. over exciting electrons on the ccd but when is it too hot that it can actually cause damage to the camera?

Thanks
