3.1Ghz from a 2.8Ghz..
it sounds good for me
max 58C? I wouldn't think it's dangerous..cuz my cpu is way warmer than yours =P

I'm guessing you're using stock cool right now. You don't have to worry at that temperature, but I like to keep mine under 50C. If you are rich buy the Swiftech MCX4000 with 80mm Tornado. If you're poor, buy the Vantec Aeroflot. If you just went bankrupt after buying your computer, stick with the stock cool.
