i got this when they werent really heard of and it was pretty cheap so the chipset isnt that good. i know you can get the biostar one with the nf2 + igp and thats a good chipset

idk about the 3d rendering question, never really tested it

and my standard might be high when it comes to cooling

the cpu runs at about 50 degress celcius
