I recently got a new computer (got all the parts off newegg.com and put it together) and I was curious what a good temp is for the cpu.. this was the first computer I've put together and its running around 115-127 deg F right now.

I'm kind of dissapointed with this because Its an althon 3000+ XP
and its only running at 2158 mhz (166 x 13) right now and I think it should be at 2600 (200 x 13) but I'm afraid of putting any higher at the moment without getting extra cooling.

Would it be wise to go ahead and put it up to 2600? or would that be running too hot?
