ok, with my multiple modifications to cool celey 733/66 @ 1100/100 .. prime95 seems to be the only thing that heats me up... after adding the extra 2 fans on either side of my heatsink to blow air across the heatsink (as opposed to just blowing on top of it)... running prime95 for about 1 hour finally heated me up to about 48c... other than that, i played tony hawk 2 for about 2+ hours last night and i didn't go above 39c. could it be that prime95 just uses the right stuff to heat it up, and most other programs won't be doing that?

Prime95 is just extremely stressful, ive noticed that even folding cant get me up to those temps, but there is a program called cpuburn, and that just sends out instruction after instruction, if your comp can survive 25minutes of this, its pretty stable....
Prime 95 is a really "load" program... Even with its default settings hits your CPU up like mad! :) Dont be worried your near the 45 Degree mark heh.
