"stops" at 49C? You mean this is the highpoint but keeps running w/o
errors? Or literally "stops" running once it reaches 49C?
Everyone has their own opinions, but I never consider a system stable until
it runs Prime95 w/o errors for 24 hrs. It's not uncommon to get errors 4, 5
or more hours into the process. For me, this is unacceptable. But if it
reaches 24 hours, it almost never fails again, no matter how much longer it
runs.
As long as you get no errors, as far as Prime95 is concerned, the vCPU and
vIO are just fine, esp. if the high temps are under ~55C (again, others have
different tolerances, but I don't get overly concerned unless temps start
reaching 60C or more under stress). I'm also willing to accept more heat
for less noise, others aren't.
OC'ing the FSB will OC the PCI/AGP as well, at least on the KT7, since it
doesn't have a PCI/AGP lock. But if you keep it modest, the OC generally
doesn't increase the PCI/AGP freq. enough to matter. But you'll just need to
monitor the situation to be sure.
I'd also run 3DMark2001 (or 2003, depending whether DX8.1 or DC9,
respectively) to flush out 3D video problems.
