That's a little hot, but nothing unusual for a CPU that is OCed (especially a 2100+). I wouldn't worry about it until it reaches 60 C (140 fahrenheit). If you want to cool it down some, just for shits and giggles, I suggest the Thermalright SLK-900 heatsink. And a nice 80 MM fan.

My Barton 2500+ is running at 45 C (about 113 fahrenheit), but my CPU fan is turned down to Low. If I crank it on High, I can get my CPU down to 32-35 Celcius.

I live in the mountains (on campus); provides for excellent "leave the window open in my room and over-clock" moments.

I OCed my Barton from 1.8 to 2.0 (not that much of an increase, but an increase nonetheless) and got the temperature down to 23 Celcius (73 Fahrenheit). My case temperature was 8 Celcius (46 Fahrenheit). Good times.
