I would say that is fine. You've got a 1.5 gig chip so its gonna run naturally warm. My 900 when i bump it to 1100 it runs about 42c unloaded and 48 with a load. But it locks up after a couple hours so i keep it at 1050 its running right now at 35C under load and drops to 29-30C unloaded. Same voltage as the other speed. Weird how the temp shoots up that much with 50 more mhz.

Since I'm running at 1.53Ghz I should know.
Full load 123F or 53C (ACPI disabled)
Idle is 43C (ACPI disabled)
Idle with ACPI enabled is 36C
I also have a crappy heatsink as well. Hopefully my new Millenium heatsink will give waaay better performance.
1.33s = hot little buggers

I'm running a 1.33 AXIA-Y @ 1.53 (9.5 x 161 FSB, 1.85v) with a Taisol 760092 hs and Delta 38cfm fan. OS is win98se.
My temps are:
24-26C idle
44-46C full load
I've hacked the BIOS tho using WPCREDIT/WPCRSET changing register 52 to "EB" in order to bring down temps at idle. They stay lower during anything except a full load ( e.g. surfing, low resource progs etc.) Check out how to do this at the KK266R FAQ link in my sig. It works like a charm on the Iwill mobos. You're on your own with any other brands. I take no responsibility if you trash your mobo either.

As long as it's less than 65C then you are fine
