"suitable temperature??"

I currently have an Athlon XP 1700+ which seems to have a maximum temperature of 46 degrees with my current cooling solution and with 2 case fans I have a system temp. of around 24 degrees, or 27 is the most i've ever recorded.

I want to overclock my processor and was wondering what the highest safe temperature would be.

I will probably have it at somewhere around 1600 to 1670MHz

i was thinking of doing it now at 133 bus with 11.5 multipier hence

1529.5MHz

which is less than 70MHz faster than normal speed, should my current cooling do fine for this, until i get another fan and clock it higher

Try not to go over 60 degrees under load, you may need better cooling though try a 120mm fan in the top of your case, makes a lot of differance.
