All of my PC's very from 35'C to 55'C.....
I personally would try to keep a PC below 60 as possible but I'm not sure exactly how safe it is to go above that.

What kind of temp is yours running at now?

(btw: I think this temp is like 100F to 150F but thats just a complete guess...)
Athlon's run hot, mine runs at 116 degrees fahrenheit... If I recall correctly AMD specs them to run much hotter, we're talking over 200 degrees, but I wouldn't push it :) Just research for "thermal solutions" over on google and you'll see what is necessary to over-clock without breaking anything :) and good luck! Post how high you can get your proc
my temp depends, right now i have it overclocked to 1.6ish and will normaly run about 60 celcius but if i turn on my air conditioner it will run at 50ish celcius
Your comupter is fast, you don't need to overclock. TRUST ME
