Running at 39c idle, 50c load.

Is this high considering it's only clocked at 2.25 ghz (1.6v) and has an XP-120 cooling it?

My mobo is at 27c.

Did I not put enough AS5 on it or something?
 
You're wondering about it's temps after overcocking it? That's akin to wondering why your engine is running hot after feeding it nitro for an hour. How much AS5 did you use on the processor? IF you did it right, you shouldn't have much to worry about. Although with those temps, and your overcocking, you might want to check on it. IF you're dead set on overcocking, look into liquid cooling.
 
I have an XP-120... that should keep it cool enough if the stock HSF keeps it cool enough to OC to 2.6 ghz.

I am wondering if my temps ARE HOT for the amount of stress I'm putting on it, I don't understand why you tried to mock me... I know why it will be hot.

I put a little AS5 on it, not much, wondering if I put too little on it...
