My current Core2 is overclocked and it's been completely reliable. I've
been running it 24/7 for about 15 months without an issue. My server room
is air conditioned in the summer and in the winter I keep the heat down
to 60 so I don't have to worry about running in a hot room. My Core2 is
using stock Intel cooling, I plan on using a heavy duty cooler like the
Zalman 9700 in the next box which should allow me to get another .5GHz.

Liquid cooling is then no option for you I take? :-)
Overclockers like to use it...

With my Core2 system I used sys_basher to find it's breaking point, then
I backed off by about 15%. I also underclocked the memory system, the
RAMS are DDR2800 but I'm running them at 600 which gives the memory
system plenty of margin.
