Safe Temps?

I originally had my 1700+ B system running at 10x210 (2100Mhz) but due to stability issues (which I think were due to the 210mhz bus), I changed the numbers around to be 10.5x200Mhz to get 2100Mhz. I noticed about a 4c temperature increase (39c idle 46 load) are these temperatures safe? Will these numbers greatly reduce the lifetime of my chip? Should I go down to 10x200Mhz? Thanks :)

Without knowing how your case is setup with fans... 46c load sounds fine. :) What voltage are you running?
