I have my EB clocked to 960, using 160:112:40 ratio (133:100:33). The temp while ripping a cd (the most cpu intensive exercise I could think of off hand) is 50-51 C. Is this good/bad? Voltage is set at 1.75 on a CUSL2.

Thanks.

Edit: Also, If I can take it higher, what temp should I likely stay below if I'm only using a stock 4400rpm fan?

Im running a Slot1 800 @ 992 @ 1.75 on my Asus p3v4x and the temp ranges from 39c idle to 48c under heavy load.
This is the retail chip with the retail heatsink never removed.

I would say that is normal. I have a slot1 P3 550@616 on a Gorb and it is running up to 50C under heavy load and around 29C idle. I wouldn't worry if i would be you, they can take a beating up till 73-75C i think......thats when they roast.
