Intel's latest Core i7 range of CPUs offers plenty of performance straight out of the box, never mind about overclocking. However, the one thing they do excel at is being tweaked to run faster than standard without resorting to fancy water-cooling or even more exotic cooling methods.
You may not have heard of Wired2Fire before, but the Dorking, Surrey based system builders have been making some well built and quick PCs since 2004. The i7-powered Hellspawn Xtreme carries on that tradition and, although it comes with an eye-watering price tag (over three grand just for the system box), you do get one of the fastest desktop PCs available anywhere at the time of writing.
As with most Wired2Fire systems, the Hellspawn Xtreme is totally customisable through the Wired2Fire website so you can either save money or go totally mad depending on your budget.
Our review Hellspawn Xtreme came with the fastest current i7 processor available, the i7 965, but overclocked from the standard 3.2GHz up to 3.7GHz. It uses the standard Intel air cooler which does a very good job of keeping the CPU cool, but for peace of mind you may want to opt for the Thermaltake Golden Orb cooler (£21.53) that is offered as an alternative
