 | The Sapphire IPC-AM3DD785G is the first Mini ITX motherboard for AMD Socket AM3 processors tested at ocinside.de.
Thanks to the small form factor, Mini ITX motherboards are excellently suitable for mediaplayer, NetTop PCs, or industrial PCs.
The AMD 785G chipset is already recommended in some ocinside.de reviews and offers with its onBoard graphics unit a good basis to build such a system.
However, on these systems overclocking is less important than a low current consumption.
So the current review of the Sapphire IPC-AM3DD785G motherboard not only shows overclocking results, but particularly the current consumption and the capability in small systems.

The gamescom 2010 took place again in Cologne, Germany this year and is without a doubt one of the most important gaming fairs in Europe.
The ocinside.de online magazine visited also the gamescom and shows on 7 pages several new games, hardware, casemods, controller and game consoles.
It is only available in German language, but it is worth watching the pictures or use a translation tool to discover the latest gaming trends.

 | A so called product ID or OPN description is on each AMD Phenom, Phenom II and Athlon II CPU, but the product ID is not really easy to understand without studying several datasheets.
On the new AMD Phenom product ID guide v1.1 simply select the description of your processor
over the drop-down fields or type it directly into the new OPN field.
Then you will see the technical data and processor description below in the virtual CPU.
The service is of course free available over the web and it is also possible to control
this interactive guide directly with OPN data over online shops, forums, or web pages.

I don't hold any responsibility for any damage caused by overclocking.
There is always a risk of damaging your hardware.
And your warranty becomes void if you overclock something.
