mATX and E4300, any OC results yet?

Nice to know that, pvhk. You are using 3-pin fans all around and can control every fan that way, right?

Now I only need to know a way to make a Winbond W83627EHF (or EHG, the report isn't very acurate...) chip do the same thing on my ASRock 775i945GZ board... The "Manuel PWM Control" doesn't work, so I can't control my fans, even those on 3-pin connectors...

Anyway, thank you for the info. One more reason to get one of those babies...

Btw, do you (in general) think your visions about G965 mobos not being good mATX mobos (not including OC capabilities, of course) may change once Intel "coughs up" the new performance (and probably already DX10-enabling) drivers for that chipset (due sometime over "the next few months")? And, being those drivers DX10-ready or not, could they somehow enable better OC?

The thing is, I'm really considering a new board for a small system (a HTPC/semi-portable hybrid using a tiny custom-made box). Nothing too fancy, it will probably run only integrated graphics. But I'm strugling to decide between the X1250 and G965 chipsets, the two boards I like are €5 off in price (btw, those two boards are the F-I90HD and the G9657MA-8EKRS2H)...

This is probably not the best place to talk about it, but how would each one fare?

Cheers.

I currently have this board at 355FSB but cant get any more with any kind of stability , I can get into windows at 365FSB but it crashes, I have tried upping the CPU voltage but this didnt help making me think its not the CPU holding me back
