high temps?

I recently upped my 3200 to 2.2ghz, it seems to idle at about 45C and when playing TF2 goes to just over 60C

I'm using the stock cooler at the moment, are these temps particuarly bad for the slight performance increase? should I just return it to stock?

Also, would it be worth upgrading to say a 4200 X2 939?

What were your stock temps idle and load before clocking???

at stock about 32-35C idle then maybe ~50C load

Then yea, I would say thats a dramatic increase... Try googling to see what the max safe temps for your chip are...
