Can the QPACK handle a OC'ed gamming rig?

[Staz]

I would like to switch my current overclocked gamming rig to a mATX system, if possible, and the QPACK cought my eye. With a few modifications, could this case handle my needs?

I have an Opteron 148 oc'ed to 2.75GHz(11x250) with a SI-120 heatsink and a Panaflow 120x38 fan on it. I have an ASUS Nvidia 6150 mATX mobo with an ATI X850XT videocard, one 250GB hard drive, one DVD reader, one DVD burner, and 4x512MB of Kingston Hyper-X memory. I have a decent 500W dual fan PSU which I would use instead of the one that comes with the QPACK, and would also replace the 120mm rear fan with a Panaflow 120x38 version. Currently, all of this is running in a Antec P160 case, but I would like to switch to a mATX case.

First of all, would all this fit into a QPACK? Secondly, would the QPACK keep it cool enough?

Doubt that heatsink would fit though I'm wrong. Whatever PSU you have probably won't fit with a normal sized optical drive. Unless both the PSU and the optical are shorter than normal versions.
as for cooling, i don't think it would be a good idea to run alot of high heat items in it

1 question before I chime in. Are you running that overclock with that Asus motherboard right now? If not I would reconsider what motherboard you get because I don't think the Asus will be a slam dunk to clock that high. You might want to consider the Biostar Tforce board.

Also it gets tight for cable management with two optical drives, stick with 1 drive. 4x512 will necessitate running 2T which will hit performance a couple percent.

Here is the QPack rig I am running:

Biostar TForce
Opteron 150 at 2700
2 x 1GB GSkill PC3200HS @ 225 2.5-3-3-6 1T
BFG 6800GT
Plextor SATA DVDRW
Maxtor SATA HD
Silverstone ST52F custom cabled PSU.
Swiftech MCX64V CPU Cooler
Swiftech Copper NB Cooler.

Make sure you use short optical drives like Liteon. If the PSU is deeper than 5.9 inches forget about using it.

As long as the rear 120 mm fan is running everything stays nice and cool.

PM me if you have any other questions.


Oh and the HSF you are using might interfere with the PSU depending on the location of the CPU on the board.

x-qpack fine. Can fit standard psu's to if you leave bottom 5" bay open. Look to my sig for my rig. Cooling is ruff i flipped the fan and its better but I would recomend a psu with alot of airflow think thats what got me but its ok now.
