That is my build of which I purchased in March. However after months of perfection, its having major cpu overheating issues...but only occasionally. As I speak, its running at 31 degrees average. But for the last few days at least once the temp has risen uncontrollably when doing mundane tasks such as chrome or thunderbird. Considering its been happily coping with video editing and other such tasks for so long, and i would not expect it to die so soon, yes its OC but less than 8 months to a cpu is not right. Could the thermal paste have gotten a bit thin?
