EZ Watcher 3060 Barebone System

You guys remember this picture?

PIC

O/C with one button? sounds N00bish right? not anymore...

check out this barebone:

PIC1

PIC2

EZ Watcher system: overclocking. If you want to use the ?on-the-fly? FSB overclocking feature, you should go to the BIOS Setup first and enable the ?EZ Watcher clock adjust? option. Every turn of the wheel increases or decreases the FSB frequency by 1MHz. That?s all. The voltages of the CPU and memory always remain the same, nominal ones. The system cannot use a divider for the memory frequency to avoid over-overclocking the memory.

The informational LCD-display can tell you about: the effective CPU frequency, how far above the nominal this frequency is (during overclocking), CPU and North Bridge temperatures. Here is a piece of iconography to you: the green symbol of a mainboard implies that it?s here and running. If any device goes down, you will get a warning in the form of a spanner against a threatening red background above the device?s icon. The available icons denote the system memory, optical drive (when it?s working, the icon becomes animated), and power supply unit.

It only allows 1.1 FSB increase and it's not a great overclocking chipset to begin with so it's kind of useless really :p They state as much in the article, 2.7ghz from a 2.4B is sad really. Having a SFF system that has every overclocking feature in the bios I just can't get excited about some cheesey front panel read-out that's basically uninformative.

hmm you must be hardcore O/Cer? well i think 2.4 -2.7 is still an O/C..all i'm saying is that its a cool feature.. you don't have to reboot and get into bios, etc.. thats the point.. not the O/Cing..If you can fit a good Intel chipset in there, i'm sure you will get some nice O/Cs..
