I have 5 rigs which are all overclocked. Good aftermarket coolers are great, but one key thing is to have airflow through the front of the case, and exhausted out the back.
If the ambient temp of the room is high, then its going to knock your cpu to dangerous temps when its on full load.
I have an airconditioned space for my animation business, because last summer I had to render a giant job during the hottest week of summer, and the CPU crashes were killing me, and almost cost me my best client.
Corsair makes a great, simple to intsll water cooler for about 75 bucks -- it keeps the temps in the 30's, if you're not doing anything too serious.
