I've got an Athlon XP Barton 2500+. I overclocked the FSB to 200 so I'm getting Athlon XP 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.

I agree, I wouldn't worry at all, as long as you're under 55C or so, I'd say you are fine. I would never let it get to above 60C
