Yea 58c at stock isnt great pal. What heat sink you using, i'm guessing its the stock one. I'd definatley get a new hsf. You can pick decent ones up for about 15-20gbp (sorry not sure in dollars).

Your CPU's guideline for heat is bout 73c but i'd stay way below that, bout 65 max. So starting with 58c isnt gona get you far. My e7300 idles at 32c and 55 load max at 3.4ghz.

Like i said tho the cooling on your motherboard isnt great so raising the FSB might result in high temps quite quickly. There will be someone on here that knows more bout your cpu than i do tho so wait and see my friend.
