Wow....nice overclocks dude.

Well...nobody from asus is selling the A7CC edition.
I told them to design it for me.
It took them 1 month to build the beast....they even ask me if I wanted the X1600 or X1450.

Note: They even told me that the X1450 has an inteligent temp monitor which are far superior!! :laugh:

However....it true! :roll:

4 built in Carbon Fiber fan with High quality copper fan!!

End Price with Carbon Fiber Chassis with X1450 VGA from ASUS = £1900....

Woot :wtf:......I love my beast!!

17 inch my friend!!;)

What's the difference between the x1400 and x1450? Hmmm I have to go look that up...I gots a higher clock when I overclock by 6mhz on the core :p.

Edit: You have gddr3....I have ddr. Plus the mem size difference.

I've got a GDDR 2. :)

Note: The X1450 mobility is not built for laptop anymore.
I couldn't find it from meshcomputers.com or ASUS website.

However...its going to cost alot to make your own laptop! ;)

The Code: 50 on the X1450 is classified as high powered and purely for overclocking.
However, the X1450 is built for high Temp uses and its bloody amazing!! :rockout:

They listed the x1450 as having gddr3. Unless I read it wrong.

Well...they're wrong!! :shadedshu

Beside that...mine was specialy built with an inteligent sensor.
Too hot ---- fan cooling at full blast (fridge) :toast:

They even got the config core 1 wrong!!

It should be: 10:10:10:2

Note: ATi X1450 mobility has Lossless Z Compression (up to 48:1) and
Fast Z-Buffer Clear.

You might have got loose there.

On my laptop at the corner bottom left. There is a small screen telling me the real-time temp and and clock rate of my CPU and GPU core + Memory and GPU memory.

The config is very advance.

Note: It evens cools mine when it feels like hot or crazy.....ooooorrrrr havoc!!

Ah ok. I just use the task bar for those kinda things. Well if I blast the fan my whole laptop's cool....but I don't feel like burning out the motor.

Can't think of one off the top of my head, try newegg first. If all else fails...you could build one yourself :D

That is a good idea! I'll tell ASUS to build one for me.
But first, I'll look through Amazon.co.uk :toast:

There is a special shop...somewhere in Scotland.
But...I'll need to check back at them for the coolers.

Note: I've found their shops. But, they're geeks and they love ASUS stuff!!
They work for ASUS company and they're my great friends!:D

I have thought about it actually... It's not that difficult- but it's not easy at all either.

Well....you need a mobo, make a case that fits the mobo, then the graphics and work around that, it's not difficult per say, just time consuming.
