OC'ing by that amount isn't likely to cause a problem.
that amount of heat could shorten the life of your CPU though - I would invest in a better cooler If I were in your shoes.
There are some fairly inexpensive ones that could get your temps down into the 40's

Cooling is not everything. My motherboard flipped out on me when I overclicked the FSB to 150. The PC ran stable, benchmarks... everything... Just the ability to format harddrives died. Could not format any harddrive bigger then 6 gigs, hung in the middle, even with the FSB back at 133. Had to exchange the motherboard.

That's a common problem when you overclock the FSB..... some brands of Hard Drives (eg Quantum, Western Digital) love running at high bus speeds, and others (mainly Maxtor) drives don't tolerate the PCI bus being driven much above 33MHz. If you overclocked to 150MHz, your PCI bus would have been running at 37.5MHz, not vastly high but enough to cause problems with some hardware :flames:What came first - Insanity or Society?
