Safe for overclock?

I just built my first rig. Specs are in my sig. I ran Intel Burn Test for 100 passes last night at maximum and both CoreTemp and RealTemp say that my cores are maxing out at 57C. When running IBT at maximum RealTemp said that only 50% of my processor was being used but I am running 64-bit Vista so I don't really understand what's going on with that. I want to know if 57C is too high for an i7 at stock speed with a TRUE heatsink. Should I reseat it or are the temps low enough that I can do a reasonable overclock to 3.4 or 3.6?
 
temps sound about right... these puppies run hot.. its possible that IBT cant use the hyperthreading.. though i think p95 can.. but some one can correct me on this..
