Safe CPU Temperature range for Athlon XP?

I've got an Athlon XP Barton 2500+. I overclocked the FSB to 200 so I'm getting 3200 speed now. What I'm wondering about is what is the safe range for the CPU and Case temperatures. I ran Prime95 overnight and the temperature in the morning was 33 C on the system and 42 C on the CPU.
 
Using the retail AMD HS and fan, most people's XP idles around 40C (at least my 2000+ does).

I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep over a 2500+ running at 3200+ speeds at 42C when loaded...
