It is, but you are going to need another $40, so its not as good perf/dollar wise. Look at your resolution; http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Axle/GeForce_GTX_460_768_MB/33.htmlXenon said:

Wish i could find a guide on overclocking Phenom 2s with the 4th core unlocked. Cant find anything on google.

Not surprisingly, Intel was the first to show an overclocked SB, when they used one of their 92mm coolers (a step down from the 980X's OEM HSF) to hit 4.9GHz on an old 2600K ES.

On the subject of SB... don't try this at home, kids.

Yeah a smart guy would probably buy a property while it's cheap. He's buying a... PC.
On other news I just found out about this, so bare with me. What I hoped would happen happened. Fractal released a uATX define series case. OMFG. It's exactly what you would want. All of you into style, uATX and silence will love this. Until now it was all about the Antec p180 mini (which I have). Check it...

Hmm didn't know this. I ran OCCT for 30 mins at 3.4ghz with 4th core 1.42 CPU voltage no errors! Never went up above 36c.

I'm watching this now. It's going so hilariously bad for him. :lol

Holy balls. That is epic on such a simple and cheap cooler. Plus it's good to know my H50 will be good for a while yet. The article makes a case that the market for after market coolers may actually be coming to an end, or at least redirecting. When you think that these results from a simple cooler, and in 12 months we will be talking about 22nm CPU's running much cooler, and it will only get more efficient from there. You have to wonder, will there be a place for specialized cooling for your cpu when it runs so smooth on a simple HSF? There will ALWAYS be a hardcore market but it won't be as big as it is now, something similar to the GPU market in the mid nineties maybe. With such cheap coolers getting such amazing results, there isn't the margins there once was to make a business case out of HSFs.
That HSF fits the R2/R3Wallach said:

Don't you have an ATX board? The Define Mini is strictly mITX and mATX. US residents either order from overseas or go through NCIX for ~$50 shipping.

If he isn't willing to wait for the new CPUs to launch, go with the Gigabyte. It has USB 3 and Sata 3. If the upgrade is for a 1GB GTX 460, he's set. Seems like it may be a 768MB, or SE model. Have him look at some bench marks for his resolution. Even if it is the 768MB model, the 6850 is not worth $73 more.IrishNinja said:
Also, the GTX 560 is launching at the end of this month. Faster than a 6870, but it will most likely cost ~$250. Just something to keep in mind.

Negative, I have a P55M-UD2 (mATX). That is not to say I typically have mATX boards though, that's just how it worked out in this build (because I got the board for like $60 back when I picked up my i5-750). I'm going to stick with the CM in the end because I don't want to get rocked on the shipping, and I don't know if I'll wind up with another mATX board next time. So sexy though... god damn.
TheExodu5 said:
Pretty much. I would make sure everything worked and fit properly. Then again we don't have gobs of money to spend and not really care if we don't do it properly.
I can't watch this anymore, dude is breaking everything, he doesn't even know how to properly put in a fan. I'm out!

ah, right - that's like this/next week, yeah? good call, gonna have him wait - even if he doesnt want sandy bridge, its possible they could drive prices down a bit, no? and yeah, just checked, the upgrade is to a 1GB 460, so you're right, think that's the way to go.
i totally meant to crack open my system & take pics for you; speedfan says its got 2 fans about, and i know it came with liquid cooling system but the temps got way, way too hot @ 1 hour of torture test (@ 85 degrees or so), really wondering if i should think about finding an aftermarket cooler like the one tekno put up that'd fit my case & see if i get better results temp wise, again its an SG07 so its tight on space but what do you think my options are?

Zinga said:I run an 800d case and its the best investment i have ever bought for my computer, simply because i will be able to use this case for the next 10 years without issue, not to mention that it is quiet, looks good and has plenty of space for my components
I am a fellow 800d user. I see one major problem with this case long term: unfortunately the front panel USB ports are 2.0
pretty sure USB 3.0 has a slightly different connector with more pins. meaning to upgrade the front panel to USB 3.0 would require new ports to be installed. and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get at them :/
I'm wary of that website ever since they did some whacky CPU HS numbers, but damn if that voltage and clock speed isn't tempting...Teknopathetic said:
If we can work that voltage down a tad we are going somewhere.

Toss in a 6850 or a ~GTX 560 or something later down the line.

Plus it isn't the best when if comes to air cooling. It does the job but there are cases more optimised for air cooling. However, chuck a 360mm rad on the roof and you have a GREAT case. Plus it's a sexy mother fucker.

Well, the Intel CPU/Mobo will last you another 3 years. Putting a new processor in the AM2+ socket will not really feel like an upgrade.Odrion said:

Yeah, really. He should be putting the OS on the SSD, instead of using it for the games. He's got it backwards.
Odrion said:
Go for a AMD 1090T processor, but check to make sure your mobo supports it. AM2+ boards don't all support all AM3 chips. Add in a Samsung F3 1TB HDD Which should put your total at about $200. Then if you want you can upgrade your GPU to a 6950 and you'll have a beast once again.

I'm guessing from how that's worded 68°C is the idle temp. for reference my non-overclocked
Q6600 idles at about 30°C.

Can't wait until the NDA lifts and everyone gets to see a wide range of benchmarks. Some of them have been truly eye opening.
Don't worry about the pics so much as opening your case to see just what they've built for you, particularly the "custom watercooling." You shouldn't have to buy a new cooler. If you decide to get one anyway look into down-firing HSFs and search around for what other SG07 owners are using.IrishNinja said:

How high is too high a voltage for these new chips?
1.5V seems like a bit much.
