Why bother OCing the ram on a system with 12 gigs though? Too much risk too little payoff imo. Call me paranoid but I avoid OCing unless I absolutely have to or unless I don't give a shit about the system to begin with, and figure I have nothing to lose by taxing it. I agree with avoiding OCing the CPU, I really do find it to deplete the hardware life. Vidcard less risky but heat can be an issue.

P.S. Nice temps btw - stock or cooling?
