Re: clocking a socket 478 Pentium 4

Eh, push it til it breaks. Your temps look OK.

My very old Athlon 1900+ XP is running in the mid 40's C and it runs as high as 55 C on a hot day. I don't worry about it, since it's way under the max temp AMD says is safe. It has yet to even hiccup at those temps, and it's at least 4 years old.

Use Arctic Silver paste and make sure you have lots of airflow through the case, which it sounds like you do. I have 120mm fans front and back on mine, front intake, rear exhaust.

Like you said, if it breaks, you have another one. Have fun.
