An air-cooled TEC and Athlon really isn't possible. You would have better temps with just the HSF you put on the TEC. Besides considering you bought an Orb for overclocking I wouldn't recommend you try TECs. Too many things to be concerned with.

Get a better heatsink. If you don't mind 55 dB get a 7000RPM fan and a solid copper heatsink from globalwin. Otherwise start looking into watercooling.

Oh and your current temps aren't too bad. You might break 1GHz with what you have now.
