It is not the proper time to overclock.  Condenstation (sp?) could form on the chips, then it could cause them to short.  It's your machine, so if you want to go ahead.

BTW, you would not be where the snow storms just hit, would you?

Do it. Overclocking isn't going to change the temperature in your rig enough to start worrying about condensation.

yes, now its oc time. in fact having all my windows open in mid winter to get high clocks is my #1 reason for colds. and they say PCs aren't harmful to your health
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

I doubt condensation will form... Some ppl use liquid nitrogen (zomg uber condensation!) But only at really low system temps condensation will occur on the pc.

It can be cold in your house and your comp can still be running a high temp...

Use a thermometer. Just make sure there's enough vaseline on it so it doesn't hurt going in.

It's not so much about idle temp, it's the load temp you need to worry about. Ideally keep your load under 50C.
