Firstly welcome to the forum.....if you would like to add some aditional information about your system the chances of getting a more informed reply will increase dramatically, what is your current CPU and System temps? and what Heat sink and fan combination are you using now? (don't want anyone suggesting you buy what you already have)

I try to stay below 35C idle and 45C under load

38c at idle and 48c at load would be the max for that setup-less would be appreciated by the cpu i bet

im just using a normal 1.2 ghz heat sink and fan square type black fan mounted on top im also putting a fan on the side of the case blowing directley at the cpu im getting 43-48 using it as a 1.2ghz (without the side mounting fan)but when use it faster its hitting 53 then i turn off and reset it ........as i dont want to damage the cpu its now left at 1.2ghz till i can sort this cooling prob out .help!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll probably want to try one of the GlobalWin or Alpha HSF combos. You should also place at least an 80mm or higher fan in the top rear of the case to exhaust heat. Also, spring for some Artic Silver2 thermal compound. Combined these should bring down both your CPU and case temps.
