Now, before I did this my normal temps were ~42C idle and ~50C under load. After the OC the temps are now ~51C idle and ~56-58C under load.
I ran CPU Burn in for 24 hours and didn't find any stability issues or data errors.
But the temps have me worried. Are those too high for AMD or that particular CPU? Or will I be okay with those kind of temps.

The temps themselves are a little too high. I have a 2500+ and I overclocked it to 3200+ speeds as well and found my temps to be a little lower, but they were still a little too high for my tastes. But also, even though you were able to reach 2.15GHz it's really not that much of a gain, and it still won't perform nearly as good as a true 3200+ because your chip only has 256K of cache.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
