Running 1.65V for a mere 350mhz hardly seems worth it. Some would say it's safe but there is always a risk especially when you're over the intel specified max. I would run it at stock voltage and see how high it would go, if it doesn't go anywhere, leave it. An extra 350mhz is not worth running at 1.65V!

Ram running 2.9V is safe enough, stable @ 2.8V would be better though.

I'm guessing you have a P4 - 2.8 B (533mhz) CPU? Idel temps seem normal if that's the case. Maybe 3 - 5 degrees less would be better but it's not a big deal.
