On the topic of amping headphones, some people argue HD 25-IIs don't need amping but the difference is like night and day for me. They just sound so flat and thin for me without amping with my iPod. Placebo in my case maybe?

I played AC:R and BF3 for a few hours the other day, and after quitting, I wondered why the fans didn't go quiet again. turns out I had forgotten to end my prime 95 torture test from earlier that morning. even though I was under 100% CPU usage, I still had enough headroom to game, and the games didn't stutter at all. on my old phenom I'd be happy when I could browse the Web while I was torturing.

Though I'm finding SWTOR to push my CPU hard actually, GPUs don't get that much of a workout but I'm seeing quite high CPU temps (higher than I get with Handbrake!), so it's odd. Probably the framerate I'm playing with though combined with general MMO CPU heaviness.

It's very much in the "want" category though (vs. "need"), as I have stuff much higher up on the list that needs getting first (like a few more hard drives, for instance).
