Questions about Safe Overclocking Temps!

[Ferrari692]

Hi, I am new to overclocking and I had a few questions about safe temperatures.

First off this is what I have done to overclock

-Stock CPU XP 2600 333fsb at 2.08Ghz now overclocked to 2.305Ghz
-To do this I increased the fsb to 200 , set the multiplier to 11.5 and increased the voltage to 1.825(to keep the system stable)
-Of course increasing the voltage also greatly effects the temperature
-Monitoring my cpu temp under certain loads I have witnessed it hitting temps in the 60C range
-I have no idea if this is safe for a cpu temp so if anyone could fill me in on what the safe temp ranges are I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

According to AMD specifications, the newer XP chips are good up to around 80C. As long as your system is stable, 60C when overclocking (with a voltage increase) is fine.

Thanks for the info that was exactly what I wanted to know.
