I overclocked it to 2.0 GHZ for now. My Asus Probe says its stable at 104 degrees F. Whats the Maximum temp I should allow it to reach and what do you think the Ideal temp for this processor is? Thanks.

Oops maybe this should have been in CPUs/Overclocking but I was asking a cooling question.

My 1.6A is at 2.4 (1.5v) and runs at 42C under load with the retail HSF. This is slightly warmer than yours. IMO your temps are good, nothing to worry about. I've seen people run CPUs at 60C, although I wouldn't do that myself.
