SFF, Overclocking the Biostar iDeq 200N

[barton boi]

I'm about to get a SFF PC, the Biostar iDeq 200N nForce 2, coupled with an Athlon XP 2500+ and GEIL PC3200. This SFF PC is alot like the shuttle SN41G2, with notable differences. It has a different heatsink, obviously different egornomics, and best of all, is overclockable.

At first the overclockability seemed questionable to me, considering the heat in this tiny box, and the 200W PSU, but people have had success with this thing.

I'm hoping to get my 2500+ @ 3200+ speeds. I will be using AS3, which should help. Has anyone had experience with overclocking this baby? Do you think It'll make it?

I'd also like to OC my possible 9800np flashed to 9800 pro, if it's at all possible...

One last thing. I'm contemplating whether or not to leave the PCI slot empty or fill it with a TV card. I think I'll go ahead and get a 9800 pro AIW, unless its alot cheaper to buy the TV card seperately, or there is not much of a temp increase with the presence of the TV card.

SFF PCs are not popular.


They are the future.
