Engadget Chinese gets hands-on treatment with Asus OCgear
You already knew that our Chinese brethren were tearin' it up at Computex 2007, but this one is of particular interest here in the US. Turns out that Asus' OCgear overclocking module actually doesn't have a graphics card integrated in, rather, it's simply an extra peripheral that will connect up to your card via USB or PCIe. Reportedly, a proprietary connector was initially considered, but the tried and true connectors proved quicker in the end. We have to admit, it certainly adds that finishing layer of geekness to the front panel of the PC, but why not hit the read link and view the gallery of hands-on snapshots for yourself, cool?
ASUS' OCgear 8600 GT graphics dials-in the overclocking
Turn that GPU up to 11 son, ASUS is prepped to unveil their OCgear overclocking kit at Computex next week. The new 8600 GT card slips into a 5.25-inch PC drive bay for a quick twiddle of your GPU speed -- just like their external XG Station for laptops. It also provides adjustment to the fan speed and system volume (somehow) while displaying the GPU temperature and FPS. Best of all, it has enough flashing lights to safeguard your virginity well into the foreseeable future. [Via The Inquirer]
