pmrdij can you give me your standard and overclocked clocks please. Im putting up a list on the first page.
standard:
CPU/FSB/Memory
11x200 1.40v
3-3-3-8
200MHz
1T
TREF 3072 cycles
GPU/Memory
i'll put this up someday but it's a fair bit lower than the specs ATI has listed for the MR9700 (450/250)

OC:
CPU/FSB/Memory
10x240 1.45v
3-3-3-8
166MHz
1T
TREF 3072 cycles
GPU/Memory
450/260

seeing as Tyrael posted another cooler concept i figured i would let everyone in on my pondered water cooling upgrade for the laptop to see if i can further reduce the temps (temps right now are far better than the stock HSF but we all know cooler is better). the idea is as follows:
1. take a nice cheap PSU ($15 @ Newegg)
1A. paint it really nice like (perhaps have it powder coated --> not that expensive compared to a can of Rusto or Krylon considering how much painting would need to be done by an auto body shop). in my case i have a storied history with aerosol so i'll paint mine
2. DangerDen just came out with a nice little pump that only requires
8v for $45
3. get an 80mm BlackIce radiator from them for $19
4. get a Thermaltake Aqua Brazing W2 for $37
5. Dimension Engineering AnyVolt Micro for $20
optional 3.5" reservior
i am sure you all know where this is going --> the PSU casing serves perfectly as the body for all of this (and provides the 80mm fan for the rad). the thing can even be made to be a contained water cooling system for many other applications (block not being factored into that statement). nice and compact.
basically it has come down to a Cowon A2 PMP or this upgraded cooling idea. at this point the leader in that argument is the Cowon A2 seeing as winter is on us and PDX is now constantly in the low 50's. decisions decisions...
