Agreeing with everyone else, your temps are fine. If you wanted to drop the temps some, you can try and re-seat the processor using Artic Silver 3, Should lower the temps a bit if you are currently using the stock thermal pad. If you dont mind noise you could look at the SLK-948u for a heatsink. Even with a low RPM fan its an amazing. But DONT get the 900u, cuz it will not fit your mobo. Currently I am running a 900u on my NF7-s and my 2100+ is currently clocked at around 2.4ghz (equal to a 3200+ in benchmarks) my temps idle around 31 deg and under a load it goes to around 45. My case temps are about 20 so that helps a lot. My friend has close to the same setup but with the same proc as you and he is running at 3600+ equilivent speeds. Good luck with your proc, hopefully its a good overclocker.
