I know this may be a bit of a stretch, but does anyone have first hand experience with overclocking SFF boxens using Intel cpus? What's the highest you could get with your HT/Gaming PC?

I have a shuttle SB51G (Intel 845GE) with a 2.66B chip at 3.0ghz (150mhz fsb). fast, quiet and stable. has a radeon 9500 modded to 9700 running at 350/300 - all around great rig - definitely no regrets getting rid of my water cooled tower.

I think that depends on what you are trying to go for. If you're looking for extreme overclocking (voltage adjustments, etc.), look elsewhere. But if you are looking to get as much as you can at default voltage, any 865 or 875 based SFF will do. My SB61G2 (865 based) has a 2.4 @ ~3GHz, and my 9800NP at Pro speed. Nary a problem with it, either.

And I've seen some at sfftech go further.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info! :beer:

Anyone with the SB65G2, or SB75G2 with OC experiences? Thanks.
