I'm having Geek-Thrills!

Because I got a new (2nd-hand) CPU & mobo for my PC. It's an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, designed to run at 2.40GHz (266x9).

And the reason I'm so thrilled? I've got it running at 3.20Ghz (400x8) and it's perfectly stable, even after a 48-hour stress-test of converting over 50Gb of music videos from MPEG-2 to x264!
Under full load it's only reaching ~44'C, as cool as my old system managed at rest!

Just to let you know...

...I'm not as depressed as I was last month...
