I'm getting ready to upgrade my SFF game box. Here's the current specs: Asus P5K-VM (LGA775, VDroop mod) Core 2 Duo E2160 (1.6 OC'ed to 3.0) with Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Gold GX XTC Dual Channel kit (1GBx2) Enermax Liberty 500W eVGA 8800GTS KO 512MB Apevia X-Qpack...

At the risk of cross-posting... I suspect some of you here may be able to provide some much needed advice on my P5K-VM + E2160 thread in the Overclocking & Cooling section. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

Let me start off by saying my last serious overclocking excursion was with an AMD K6-2/500 and involved a lot of undocumented jumper settings on an Asus TX97-E, which turned out rather well given the rudimentary configuration options available at the time. So, when it came time to upgrade my...

Ok, folks, I'm giving my X-QPack some upgrade love. I was planning to just swap out the XFX 7600GT XXX for a BFG 8800 GT OC2, but I was worried about my Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice) (on a Biostar TForce 6100-939) becoming a bottleneck (see Tom's Hardware article). After reading reviews, posts, and...

I've got a Qpack and a 3200+ (939) sitting around that I planned to use to build a PVR, but then I thought I could go ahead and add a little more to have it double as a dedicated game machine. I've pretty much settled on a 7600GT for video, but I haven't decided on a MB yet. I need something...

I decided to take some misc parts I had lying about and build a PVR. The cpu/mb combo was a P4 2.66 (Northwood) on a Soyo SY-P4RC350 (topped with a Zalman 7000B for good measure). Although the cpu temp at idle was okay (low 30s), the PS/2 mouse port on the Soyo board was DOA. :rolleyes...
