Alrigh, I'll look into that. But yeah, the cruddy rate nowadays... it's good to when I need to buy stuff from the UK, you guys have PS3/Xbox360 games soooo cheap. Especially on "GAME"...

LOL I wouldn't say that much.

I've heard really well of them. That's why I decided so quickly into getting this one!

Ah yes, I've looked into that one too. IIRC it's the same that CR uses on Greenie-poo. But honestly, to the power that motherboard can offer, it's better suited for a cute and yet powerful LAN box, since it can hold a PCI-E x16 card!

Cute little buggers these mobos are

And I'm particularly going to be happy with this one, since I can overclock the Atom on it! It offers barely any use, and my priority is power saving, but I won't sleep without having it OCed!

EDIT: lolwoot 1500 posts

Hai hai guiiizeee!


Ooh? What's this?



Sub-Update 21.1 - The NineBreaker gets greener!

As you may have figured out, the package has arrived! Let's open it...



I can already see the WD HDDs.

Win! Moar incoming...



Zotac de-packaged.

kk.. someone give me a paper towel.



Moar secks incoming... lol




Money shot:




Twins!:



That's all! Laptop IDE optical drive to SATA adapter should arrive soon. But in the meantime, I borrowed a full sized SATA DVD-ROM to make the needed operations

Ehh....... too bad the Enzotech heatsinks will probably fail to fit due to the unusual way the stock heatsink is placed on the mobo (screwed to it)

Oh well... This is overclock.net, the place to overclock AND mod everything you can! I'll see if I can manage.

Alright guys, quick update!

Sub-Update 21.2 - It's alive!

Well, first things first, I'm going to be straight to the point. Before even testing if it is in working order... I MUST have to change the TIM

Naked CPU and northbdirge!



Such a lovely combo, don't you think?

As I predicted as I was unscrewing the heatsink...



...the awesomeness of the stock TIM ... and...


...imo this is a flaw:



I am forced to use that thermal pad on the CPU, as Zotac didn't work in adding an extra "bump" on the heatsink because, it won't touch the Atom as is, so using TIM will result in a no heat transfer...

The heatsink all cleaned up from the cruddy "rock solid" tim, the CPU will be near that nut...



I love this mobo... I even made it look like the ITXION-A series, which have integrated DC-DC converter and a 19v input dongle.

Lucky that ZOTAC leaves that backplate on the mobo for the wireless antenna and a couple more holes. So... it's a perfect fit from my DC-DC coverter input dongle!



All put together...

...ready for testing...

... ...


Woot! it lives!



Yeah...... the flash, I only noticed it was too bright when I uploaded the photo... lol

Alright guys, that's all for today. Thanks alot for watching.

(woo... I'm able to boot with the D945GCLF WHS installation without issues
