    3GHz from an Athlon 64 in an SFF

    Taking an SFF to the very edge isn't something many people do. First you have to fit everything in, an extreme challenge in itself, sometimes. Then, you have to keep the thing cool, which is not easy when you start overclocking.

    Still, Platinum has proven that it can be done, taking an FX-57 to 3GHz in a Shuttle SN95. Alas, it gets a bit warm, what with a 7800 GTX in there too, so isn't fully stable at that speed, but it's an achievement nontheless. Nice one!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    A lack of SLI support could hinder progress

    I see a big problem about his shuttle running a 7800GTX, the problem is that the SN95 only has an AGP 8X slot and all the 7800GTX cards are pci-express

    Yeah I think that is a very impressive feat to get a PCIe card slotted and working in an AGP slot love to know how he managed that trick
