iv judt got my new pc with a single core 4000+ at 2.6ghz.my idle temps
are around 35C and my temps after a game etc are around 40C.would i be
ok to overclock with these temps or are they a little high?

If you are reading the actual core frequency correctly, it already is
overclocked to FX55 level. The stock frequency for this processor is 2.4
Ghz. The temps are fine, low even, if accurate. I have a San Diego core
4000+ and run it at 2.7 Ghz at standard voltage with a large silent Zalman
cooler which is FX57 speed. My idle temps are 49C and 50-55 under max load.
Ambient room is 23. This system has run 24/7 at these clocks since I put it
together 19 months ago.
