FX-53 Temps with Hyper 6

I've searched the net trying to find typical temperatures for the FX-53 with a Cooler Master Hyper 6 heast sink but have not found anything, yet. I am wondering if anyone out there could give me their typical temps. I listed my specs in my signature, but the pertinent items are that I have two Vantec Stealth fans in a push-pull configuration and have used Arctic Silver 5. (I spread the compound instead of applying just the bead and letting the heat sink spread it. I didn't see the Arctic Silver directions until afterwards.) I have the FSB overclocked to 230 MHz (can't go much higher because of the stupid SATA 1/2 issue 🙁 ) with a CPU multiplier of 11 to get 2.53 GHz. I use 1.55 volts to the core, and 2.8 volts to the memory. I am using MBM 5 to monitor the temps and I think that I have the latest "official" bios for my MB. My idle cpu temps have been around 42-44 degrees celsius. Full load temps running Prime95 climb to 56 degrees celsius. Last night, after running for a while and then playing HL2 for an hour, temps were 60 degrees celsius. System temps idle around 37-39 degrees celsius but I've seen them as high as 46 degrees celsius after loading. Case temp is usually a consistent 20-21 degrees celsius. The cpu and system temps seem too high to me considering the HS and fans. I have almost all cables sleeved and I tried to push them out of the way for maximum air flow. Does anyone have any similar experience or advice?

P.S. Now that I am getting addicted to overclocking, anyone out there think the Aquagate or Big Water cooling systems would do much better?

Thanks for your help.
 
my Prescott ran up in the sixties...i made a cooler box with a Rev, 3 innovatek waterblock I got used for like $20.......now I run at 49C running heavy DV processing hour after hour...i made it myself out of parts on the net with a healthy pump and set the box under the PC on a typing table...the sound is a low on versus the fans in a PC case and somewhat less

i felt bad about the high temps playing games too. i pulled a Zalman cu/al cooler off for a gigbyte aluminum rocket and when i pulled the zalman the artic silver 5 has turned into superglue practically....it was runing hot, no doubt

those gigbyte rockets are not much better than the zalman....don't waste the money you need to build a water cooler
 
me agin to post script

BTW i run a SANDRA multimedia test at a tad over 60,000 with the Prescott clocked at 3.74 a 220 freq
and the 9700 locked in low
