So I've just been rendering a video with CPU usage hovering around 75%, and my CPU temperatures are rather on the high side (85c). A few months back I was rendering a model in AutoCAD which demanded 100% CPU usage - temperatures quickly started rising well into the 90s and showed no signs of...

So I've decided that my dad's 9 year old Dell Dimension 3000 is really too slow to actually be worth bothering with any more, so I guess it's time for a new PC. I'm looking at a budget of around £500, and the usage of the computer is not going to extend far beyond web browsing and MS Office, but...

Hi there :) I'm either going to go for this i7-2600 system or an i7-950 one, but the 2600 system is coming out marginally cheaper, to my suprise. I was tempted to consider the 2600K, just so I have the option of overclocking, but to be honest, I have never overclocked and don't see myself doing...
