   @muhendisane Full load overclocked to 3.4 GHz results in 50-55 C. Chilly compared to stock cooler. This case is small and there is no where else to route cables. The one sticking out is a fan on the door, pulls out when door is removed.

   you must do cable management…for better air circulation.

    set at 3.6 Ghz the absolute highest I have seen the temps go at full load is 65c. At idle it is in the low 40s. I have seen people overclock to 4ghz but the temps are too high on air so I won’t be testing that.

    The easiest way is to just change the reference clock speed from 133MHz to whatever you can get it to be stable at. You can get a lot out of it that way. You can also change voltages and things to get more, but just start with that clock speed first.

    Cool, thx. Good stuff. I have it overclocked to 3.6 Ghz now, the cinebench is over 20k now. Ill post that at some point. I also put the RC of windows 7 on it. I think that build is slower than 7077 was.
