That seems well within most specs that I've ever seen for a G3 processor. I have a g3 on a daughtercard in my 7300 and its been running tip top with NO issues whatsoever for 2 years at 43 c. so I don't think you have anything to worry about. Weather or not you'd want to switch the jumpers back to stock would pretty much be determined by how stable the machine is, inasmuch as have u noticed a increase in the amount of system crashes, hangs, freezes, etc since you've overclocked it ? if everything has been kosher, I think you've done well and you should get many more years from the machine..
