2x1024MB Corsair XMS DDR2-675 @ DDR2-600 8-3-3-3

That stock cooler has serious issues cooling higher model P-Ms. Good luck with it in that box.

Actually, that's the NEW cooler. the old cooler AOpen supplied was smaller than the NB sink you see there, and wasnt enough- but this one is PLENTY.

And i havent benched it yet, will do so soon.

The QPACK is actually my media center thats int he living room now, just put it there for fun :p
 
Hmmm...strange.

Most pics of the X-QPACK and SG01 I've seen make the SG01 look larger...but these shots definitely make the X-QPACK look the bulkier of the two. Especially with the blue-LED external hard drive on top.

Oh, and I see why the camera was so wobbly for those shots! (Second pic - :p )
 
I knew that AOpen board was gonna be good when I read a great review of it in a Britland (Britan...England...whatever) magazine. It's got great OC potential! OC that baby!

i wouldnt imagen it would be that expensive, you could generally sell the system for a gain couldnt you, as long as you do it fast

Not a 'gain' i end up paying about 50$ a month more per system.
 
I did some wire sleeving and organising today, and added a vantec fancard i had laying around:

I want a core-duo setup, much like yours. I would like to pitch my Qpack, pickup the Sg01, and get a Core-Duo for my X2. Of course I'd need DDR2... Ugh. Nice Rig Man.
 
i was thinking that also but there are no matx mobos that suppor the new duos... not yet anyway :p

Wow, that's nice. Where'd you get the pentium m sticker?
And Why Pentium m?
Click to expand...

Got the sticker off ebay for like 3$...

Pentium M just for the coolness factor, or something of the sort. You dont see many gaming rigs with pentium-m's in them. They are very powerful CPU's and paired with a nice gfx card and 2gb of ddr2 they fly.

A $266 motherboard?! :eek: From AOpen?? Oh jeez man...
Click to expand...

i got it in a trade. My DFi ultra-d + 110$ for it. Not too bad ;)

AOpen is a great company. They have a very robust mATX line and are very quality boards. The ATX market is rather large and Aopen may not stand out much- but they are a good company.
 
Too lazy to edit that post....

Heres pics of my upgrades for the day, new X1800XL w/ fatal1ty cooler and added a 60mm 35cfm fan to the top running @ 5v. Rig is almost silent now...

Nice gamer. Probably o/c's like a biatch too, as long as that PSU holds.
 
New pics, of course:

Got my Wiring done, got the fatal1ty cooler running great and my new audigy. The audigy soudns GREAT in BF2 with EAX on, amazing.

Also switched out that 1.6/533 P-M for the 1.7/400. I 'FSB' jumper modded the 1.7/400 to 533 FSB and now it runs at 2.26/533 stable as a rock.
 
Is that the max stable o/c the board is capable of because I have a spare Qpack I'm trying to find a board for. It's got to be a pentium m board though because I have a 725 on the way. I'm hoping for somthing with a PCI-e that will be able to compete with the 69% o/c (2384Mhz @ 680fsb) I have with the ct-479 and asus. Do you think this board could handle it?

No, it wont work. This board can onlyu handle up to 150 fsb (600fsb effective). so with a 133mhz fsb chip you can only oc 17mhz more before the pci locks go awry, and with a 400fsb chip you can also oc to 150 which gives youa llot of headroom. you can also fsb mod 400 to 533 via jumpers on the board with a totally stable of and just oc from there.

my 735 fsb mod's to 133 just fine giving to 2.66ghz but i can also OC it up to 145fsb before it needs more voltage, thats another thign that these board have no cpu vcore adjustment, only NB.
 
Good info, thanks.

I think I'll get the MSI Speedster FA4-R and assess it's o/c potential.

Doesn't DFI have a mobo that does support this? I thought some guys over in the XS forums hit like 3ghz with these things on the DFI boards.
