Do I really need to overclock a i7 2600(k) for HD editing in CS5?

Dear All
After reading a lot in this forum (thanks to everyone!), I pretty much decided to buy the i7 2600k or i7 2600 (I know the difference) for the system I´m putting together.
I´ll have a student´s edition of CS5 and will be using Premiere and AE and have one huge doubt left:
Do I really, really need "Overclocking" for HD video editing?
A few background infos so you know who "I" refers to:
I´ll be doing small projects for my own private amusement, most of them likely to be less then 20 minutes long, but effects/filters/layers will definitely be involved.
I´ll buy a Nvidia 550 for cuda, the three "obligatory" harddrives, 16 GB of RAM...
Think of fiction short movies, music videos etc. and you get the idea.
I am not a hardware enthousiast or a very impatient person - if a final rendering/conversion into another format takes 8 minutes instead of 6, for instance, I do not care.
What I DO care about is smooth editing and previews when working with HD formats (yes, also the "difficult" ones). I don´t want to be on the top of any benchmarks, but
the performance with HD still should be "good"...
I have no previous experience with OC, but I understand it´s quite easy with this last generation of processor and motherboards.
Yes, I am tempted to get more "Bang for the buck", but I am also reluctand to spend more money and time if I don´t really need it, or if the difference will be so minimal I won´t notice it.
As I understand it, for OC I´ll need to get a better case with fans, a better cooler, better power supply, better who-knows-what... all decisions I need to take now...
I also wonder:
- Is it still true that my processor/system will have a shorter life spam with OC?
- In case I don´t overclock, can I go with the factory cooler of the i7 2600 or is it still wise to get a better one?
- Any suggestion which Z68 motherboard to buy with and without OC? (should be around 100-150 Euros)
Please allow me this additional question in order not to open another threat just for it:
- I want to get Kingston DDR3 4GB/1333 RAM simply because it´s cheap - is that okay with the i7-2600 or should I go for 1600 instead?
Thank you so much in advance for any kind of suggestion, I hope your answers will be useful for more users out there.
Andy

Thank you, Harm. Does everyone agree? I´d be happy to save the money for all those fans...
The time issue is really relative. My last editing adventures laying about a decade back when one could go for a coffee when applying a filter to a couple of minutes in PAL
and even a brightness filter applied to a short shot would have me staring for endless seconds at the screen. I hope these days are gone, EVEN with HD?
I´m just trying to imagine how and when OC would affect things while using cs5, or if it would affect the "smootheness" of the editing process at all.
As said, a conversion into another format or a final rendering that takes many minutes anyways is not a problem for me.
But say I want to apply a filter to a couple of seconds, or render an AE effect, would I have to "wait" at all for previews with the modern i7 system I want to build?

I guess the problem come from me or I really need those contacts before he calls me for it. I'll try some method that I got from some responders on your support website. Do you have or can you recommand any software that can solve this problem?

One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

I have hundreds of the same shape that needs to be converted into a symbol for easy editing. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator?
Background here may be relevant: The place I am working is currently using ai CS 3 & 5 and the files in question are converted Freehand files. I have never been a Freehand user, but apparently you were able to swap one shape for another in Freehand. The closest Illustrator equivalent that I am aware of is the symbols panel. I know how to swap one symbol for another, how to create a symbol from a piece of vector art and how to modify a symbol. What I am trying to do is convert several instances of the same object into several instances of the same symbol without having to replace hundreds of objects manually (ie. trying to get the right placement in a grid and everything).
Is there any efficient solution to the task I have in Illustrator CS 3 or CS 5?

Try this.

Do I really need a Macbook Pro over a Macbook Air?

I'll be using a notebook, well...as a notebook. But I'll also be using it in a desktop setup with an external monitor at home (which has become largely how I use notebooks these days). I have an ancient white Macbook currently, which essentially cannot stream videos of any quality. My question is if I really need a Macbook Pro (I would wait for the new Retina update due in the next couple of months) or would the currently generation of Macbook Air suffice? I would definitely need something capable of streaming HD videos online (think Netflix, etc.) Thanks fellas.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The MacBook Air works for that job without any problem. The Intel HD Graphics 5000 GPU is not the best you can find, but it can stream HD videos. Also, note that the 13-inch MacBook Pro has got an older GPU which is similar. You don't need a 15-inch MacBook Pro to stream HD videos

Really need help with MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC:(

Greetings to all,
I really need help with my brand new MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC. I've purchased it two days ago and I didn't really have time to test the card until yesterday. The card is I think way to hot for my "liking". It idles at 56c-60c, at full load in Heaven benchmark 3.0 in 1920x1080, extreme tessellation and 8xAA card reaches 95c-97c. Stock cloacks are 1010Mhz/1375Mhz and stock voltage is 1,174v. Case is being cooled by two Noctua NF-P12 fans. Also I tried lowering the voltage and "underclocking" the card to a standard 925Mhz in small increments, but it doesn't help at all. Each and every time it results in BSOD and dx dll errors and complete system failures. Replacing the card wouldn't be a problem if I lived in a "normal" country that has access to a steady supply. Retailer that sold me a card told me that only 5 cards total have been imported from the launch day and told me that i bought the "last" card in my country. They could order a replacement but it would take them more then a month to do so.:( Ohhh and one more thing I don't overclock, everything in my case is at their default values.
Recently, I read that "Amd released" a bios update for a standard reference boards that turns them into a "GHZ editions". Also lot of users report a lower voltage requirements and lower temps with that "boost bios". As I understand this card pcb is not Amd's reference board design, I could be wrong it's not that uncommon.. So I didn't want to risk warranty by flashing it to a position 1. Will MSI release the boost bios for this model of card? I am humbly asking MSI staff on how to proceed regarding this problem. I would be immensely grateful for any help you could provide.

what PC case you use exactly?
have you tried to open PC case side door and to retest?
Hi,
it's open case. If i close it the temps get even worse:(
They get better for other components, but not for gpu. Two Noctua NF-P12's are cooling the case, first one is positioned above gpu, left side next to cpu. Other is right beneath the gpu, right side of case. Just under the hdd section of the case. I tested each and every component with my backup card nv 8500gt. They function within the specified parameters. I'm getting somewhat worried.

Wifi Syncing really needs a fix. Or at the very least some manual parameters.

After installing IOS5 , itunes 10.5 and making sure eveything works i've come across a snag like many others.
Wi-fi syncing simply doesn't work for me.
I have the option in summary , it is clicked and enabled.
I've followed the trouble shooting guide here : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062 a few times over.
Still my phone claims not to see the computer itunes is installed on.
On my phone , in settings - general - iTunes Wi-Fi Sync the button is greyed out and under it it says "Sync will resume when "HOUSE-03-PC-05" is available".
It is available LOL , ios stop lying to me.
I have installed a few ping apps , where pinging to the ip of said computer works fine from my phone.
I have disabled my windows firewall to be sure nothing is being blocked by it.
I checked if bonjour still works with other apps that need it. And they work.
Airvideo for example can connect to the computer that has my itunes installed just fine.
I installed "ip scanner" , it seems to discover the netbios name of the "HOUSE-03-PC-05" computer just fine.
The wireless access point I use is a D-link 2100AP, it doesn't block nor firewall anything. . Everything else wifi related I do works fine.
Itunes is running , my power cable is plugged in , and i'm not sitting at the wrong side of the desk while looking at the back of my screen.
I have even started a few tcp server programs of my own making on various ports on the pc itunes is installed on and connected to those ports using issh in telnet mode , and it works just as it's suposed to.
Something really needs fixing when it comes to the phone finding the computer that it uses for syincing.
Maybe the option to indicate the IP to try and connect to would fix it ? is it a resolve issue?
I was thinking the problem could be from uisng hyphens in my netbios names , but i really would doubt that .
Any more ideas on what more I could test for would be apreciated .
Kind Regards
Phoenixxl.

I had exactly the same problem and couldn't find the answer anywhere. However after playing a bit I found out that my computer name (i.e. Right click on "Computer" and select properties) contained a hypen. I renamed the computer to delete the hypen, restarted and now it syncs wirelessly like a charm!
Obviously something that apple overlooked which will probably right itself in the next release but should get you up and running fingers crossed!

i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized. The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
Are you using PSE 11 and not 12? PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

Mac start up wont work. I have tried safe start, command s / v , command r, pram, and more. Nothing helps!!! I really need to get back onto it. PLEASE HELP ME

My mac is only a year old. I am still under warranty but don't want to have to go to the store. I know it has something to do with not connecting to my hard drive and I want to make it clear that IT HAS NOT BEEN DROPED,BANGED OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY!!
Here is what I have tried so far:
For safe start The loading bar shows up but then doesn't load. After a few seconds it disappears and the wheel continues to spin.
I have tried PRAM but it doesn't help at all.
The only way I can get it off the start off page is to either go to fsck or Mac OS utilites.
Fsck comes up as an error message for me when I put in fsck -FY. /sbin/fsck -FY also doesn't work.
Mac OS utilities really also doesn't much. When I try to back up my hard drive it recognizes the external drive but then has no where to put it to??? So then I tried reinstalling the lion software part bit it won't allow me because for some reason it is locked. So I also try to verify and repair my drive. An error message comes up so I know there is something wrong. But not what to do about it. So now I am here on the Internet.
I Really need to get this fixed!!! PLEASE SOMEONE PROVIDE ME WITH AN ANSWER TO HELP FIX MY PROBLEMS.

When making a circle, illustrator automaticly makes lots and lots of more circles... How to resolve this problem? Really need quick advice!!

Hi there,
I have used illustrator now for a long period of time. Recently I purchased Adobe CC. Had no problems with it untill now.
It's like this. Whenever I try to make a circle (or, square, line or other forms) Illustrator makes lots and lots of more circles within it.
From the moment I click on the page untill I release my mouse, it keeps making circles. (see enclosed picture)
I have really no idea whatsoever how to undo this. I have used Illiustrator CC before for another project, and it worked fine. Now however, it doesn't.
Can anyone help me out here? I have payed projects to deliver, and I really need this to work really soon...
Thnx for your help!
btw, I work on a PC with Windows 8. (don't really think it's relevant, but still..)

Thnx!
I didn't know that could cause it. Which is actually weird since I've recently bought a new laptop. >,<U
Thnx for your help!

Really need help...can't get my old songs to reload onto my ipod. The only songs that will load are ones I have purchased recently on my iphone. I can see all my music in my library. Help please!

Hi everyone..I really need some help! My computer went in for repair and cleaning. The music in my itunes library at the time was backed up on discs. I had not resynced my ipod touch with computer since that occurred in May of this year. Since then I have purchased an iphone and some new music was purchased as well. My phone has the new music (which is about 100 songs). Yesterday I decided I was ready to get everything organized and put all my music on my ipod and my apps on my phone. I have, as it would appear, reloaded all my music back into my library (a little over 1000 songs) as I can see the music and I can open and play it through itunes. I have resynched my ipod touch. All the music that was on my ipod touch has now been taken off and the only music that synched with it is the music I have purchased since I bought my iphone (only about 100 songs). Can't get all music on my ipod at all. Additionally, my account is not recognizing the touch as one of my devices. Any help at all would be appreciated!

You can contact Apple and request a 1-time redownload of your lost purchases. Of course, they prefer you follow some of these recommendations on backing up your purchases.
I think the e-mail form on this page is the best place to start for requesting the replacement download.
