I OCed my 1000Mhz Athlon (10x100) to 1333Mhz (10x133) and my temperature went from an average cruising temp of 37 to 38 C up to 42 to 43 C and under some heavy stress of UT it went up to about 45 C, is this good temperature? Am I alright doing this? Also just a tid bit, my MB temp is at 32 C under UT load.

Sounds alright to me. What cooling are you using, BTW?

haha, my Athlon 1.1B+super Orb is running w/o any overclock in 55c for almost 3 months till now flawlessly 7/24 . I think i forgot to put those compound in but now i m too afraid to open the bloody tight fan cos i might crush the cpu ( i crushed 1g before and got this warranty).
You guys don't have to worry about temp as long as < 60c

The super Orb is your problem, they don't cool very well at all.

Correct. The superorbs are awful. They suck in every way imaginable, except physical appearance.
