I've ordered my cooling solution. What should I expect?

I ordered a si-97 and a Zalman 92mm fan from Newegg. What should I expect from this? Currently my CPU hits 65C under load with the case off. I am hoping that my cooling solution will at least take it down to the 50's under load. It runs around 44C at idle. Here are my system specs...

AMD Athlon 3200+ XP (it is an overclocked 2600+ at 2volts)
512MB Mushkin RAM
MSI KT6V motherboard

Does anyone have a similar setup? What kinds of temps are you getting? Thanks in advance.

I am running 1.9V 2600mhz barton 2500+ mobile and I am getting 47C idle now with artic silver burned in for over 200 hours and a SI-97 with a 120mm silenX 58cfm fan. My case temps are 30-31C. Load temps are about 56C and case goes to 35C. I have found the heatsinks mounting hardware to be poor at best. I can move it around a bit and bring my temps up a bit which sometimes occur when i move my case around alot. I just then jiggle it abit till i get the desired temps. And yes I have mounted it correctly for those wondering. Put it this way a sp-97 or sp-94 whichever fit the socket A is a better choice but even more expensive and hard to find. This is no wonder heatsink, just an updated design..
