How high to OC 1.6a?

Well, I'm new at overclocking, but I did buy a 1.6a & P4B533-E combination so that I could try overclocking for the first time. Well, right now I'm at 2159.99mhz @ 135fsb. My CPU temps have not gone above 26C. So my question is... when should I start worrying about the temp getting too high? And when do I know when to adjust my voltage?
 
What a silly question. Computers or women--it's the same old story. Push them as far as they will let you get away with. Until it's unstable or you get slapped, depending on the situation
 
Overclock it as high as possible, while keeping it stable, at decent temperature and voltage under 1.7v

edit: I have mine running at 1.6ghz again due to the hot 90f weather this week. It's usually at 2.4ghz though. I haven't fully pushed the max since I like to use the onboard lan and usb ports. 🙂

That was a great one.
