What do you guys think of these tempertures?

Core i7 920 @ 2.66 Ghz | Stock Cooler

It runs at around 35 degrees Celsius Idle. Is it possible to overclock it to 3Ghz on stock cooler and keep temps good? Since I realized this Asus board has this Turbo V program, It is a lot easier to overclock. It is already very fast, should I overclock or just leave it?

Idle temps don't mean much.

Run Linx at 1.5GB and see how hot it gets, and if you're comfortable with it.

Idle temps do not mean diddly-squat. You need to look at the load temperature; i.e. the temperature of the four cores when they are at 100% load. You can use programmes such as Prime95, IBT, Linpack, etc. to fully load your CPU.

If you are looking for a high overclock then you will need something better than the stock Intel HSF; i.e. an aftermarket HSF. 3GHz should be OK on the stock HSF, although again watch the load temps. If they become too high then you need to use an aftermarket HSF.
