If you use the 533 FSB 2.8 E Prescott you can. Depends on your motherboard multipliers and memory and if it will support the Prescott core. I run mine at 3.6+ on air all day long and have had it up to 3.8 but it was just under heat specs so with better cooling it could easily go farther.

Just to prove it will do it. Idle temp is around 56C. I still have headroo with my RAM too.

Can you get a bigger power supply on a shuttle? I know they are only made to fit their box.

This is on the stock HSF at the default Vcore. I've had it up to 3.78 GHz but it was pushing 70 degrees C under load @ 1.5v Vcore. At this speed it runs at 3 degrees C over default 2.8 which is around 61.5C. I have the memory at 5x FSB. Ran it for 8 hours Prime95 and then played HL2 for 2...

That is a sweet engine.

If it's not plugged in it wont post, so why wouldn't it if it's not getting enough.... He has either a dead video card or a dead CPU.

Yes, I read everything you wrote, and you are coming off like a dick this being my first post on this forum. You really don't know anyone with a PCI-e slot? Can you get another PCI-e card and see if your system posts with it? Buy one and return it.

I thought it would have at least one (didn't know that Shuttle had no PCI)...I know the PSU should be fine. Try another rig. My sig may say nOOb but I have been playing with hardware for some time. Sorry I wasn't exact on your shuttle model...I like towers better ;)

Do you have anything in the PCI slots? Try booting it with just the video card in it, no case fans and only the CPU fan. What did you change?

That's borderline but it should post.

What kind of PS do you have? edit: ...I guess I was too slow
