Motherboard: Asus P6T

My system is stable because I have an industrial strength cooling fan.

When idle my CPU temp is at 27 C and when at full throttle 48 C.
The reason I am overclocking is because it shaves off time from video encoding. Allows me to run multiple programs including Photoshop.
The last improvements is getting high quality memory 12GB and a solid state drive for Windows system files.
