Default Operating temperature of 12-bolt??

I just recently installed a Moser 12-bolt, true-trac and 4.11's. My question is what temperature should the rearend be after a nice long drive. Right now my cover and center section arevery warm to the touch, tad bit on the hot side actually. The axle housings are a little warm and ends are barely anything. Is there a temperature that is too high and something I should get looked at??

Thanks..

Normal, it gets very hot. I can't even put my hand on my rear cover when I get done driving.
