Respect and you're right that's what it's usually all about (i build, tweak, upgrade and recommend thrifty systems all the time), but this rig is my alpha rig - it's all about spastic oomph. So on to the update. I settled for a Q9400 which is a certainly bad ass chip so it's all good. I...

I own both boards but haven't had the opportunity to play around with the DFI LP Jr yet but i have to stress to you that the P5E VM HDMI is capable of 500 FSB with little drama and many settings left on auto. 400 FSB is nothing to the P5E VM HDMI. It's really that simple. The limit for this...

:D And if you were feeling reckless?

Interesting. And yeah i do in fact run my RAM @ 1080mhz on a 7 x 450 CPU clock. ;) As to not needing a new motherboard, it's not an issue because i already have it and have had it for a while. I had ordered the 4870X2 to compliment my P5E VM HDMI but when i went to pick it up, on the shelf...

This thing's crazy, but there's three (and a half) severe flaws. 1024 x 600 resolution screen (cuts down the gaming potential quite a bit). The 9300m GS won't do 1024 x 768 with scrolling but the GMA950 will (but only under XP) And when you overlock these little beasties your ethernet port...

This is mad! I thought rumours of Core i7 micro's would be a Q4 2009 thing. Unbelievable. I wonder what Asus will bring to the table.

[H]i, I've had the P45 T2RS for months but been too scared to do anything with it. Well, not exactly, i've also been extremely satisfied with my P5E VM and due to the complexity of the DFI OC thing vs the simplicity of the Asus OC thing i just never had the urge to experiment with the DFI...

[H]i, I'm thinking of swapping the coolers around on my 3870 and 4850. I heard that 'any cooler that fits a 3 series ati card will fit a 4 series card', but at a glance it seems that some of the top capacitors on a 4850 will get in the way of the 3870 shroud. I don't want to go to the...

If you're confident and experienced and it seems you are then go for it. I've decided against a blow hole opting for a handle instead. Temps in my case are fine really. I expected much more of a hit by cramming all my shit into this lil beastie. 36 - 40 degrees idle with my obscene...

Being thin aluminium i'd think about using a hole saw. Finding a 120mm hole saw proved difficult for me, but a 111mm is quite common. You can use the cheap 'for wood and plastic ones' on aluminium as thin as a SG03 but make sure you don't slip as a hole saw is. . . unforgiving. Much...

Oh man, you're talking my language. You're not female are you? Bummer. . Anyway, The reason i moved from a P180 Mini to an SG03 is because when i made the transition to mATX i certainly didn't make the transition to SFF. A P180 Mini is larger than most ATX Mid Towers (certainly much...

That OC should be a piece of piss with any decent 800mhz RAM. Try your RAM at 5-5-5-15 tho if it's not 4-4-4-12 by SPD. The majority of failed OC's on decent 775 set ups come down to RAM. Everything you've done looks very modest and safe so although i would raise the CPU to above 1.3...

Ah, that's an interesting detail. My SG03 is quite new, about a month or two. It's interesting that prior to the NT0E6's release the CPU height restriction on the SUGO series was that CPU cooler could not exceed 78mm. Since the NT06E it's now stated as 82mm. However, every SUGO (not...

LIES! I'm posting this reply from a rig that sports an SG03 and NT06E heatsink. It fits perfectly and it a beautiful thing to behold. Perhaps the 'lip' of your SG03 is slightly bent downward or perhaps your NT06E is slightly bent upward. Either scenario is fixable. To be clear...

Silverstone SG01F Silverstone SG02F Silverstone SG03 Silverstone SG04 I'm not aware of any others that could do so without modification.
