Is there anything wrong with over-cooling a CPU? (within reasonable limits.. like 15~20C idle | load 35~40c)
Will it affect preformance?

There's nothing called overcooling a CPU.

It's been a while since that engineering degree, but I don't think the electrical properties of a semiconductor change that much with temperature. It's the copper tracks that you should be worried about, the resistance of a metal increases exp with temp decrease. Anyway, I've seen an AMD forum with -80C running fine, just don't expect your hard-drive to work at that temp!!
