Question about overclocking Shuttle SFF

[New Start]

I am getting this SFF: http://sys.us.shuttle.com/BuildXPC.aspx?id=1082

It's the Shuttle G4 8500g.

How high should I overclock it if: 1) I want it to run solid and 2) I don't want to make any mods?

The only way to find out is the usual way. Up the speed a little, test. Lather, rinse, repeat. Go for the HyperX memory option rather than generic.

I was planning on keeping the memory that came with it. I just want a little boost if possible, I don't want to be spending more money if I can avoid it.

HyperX 3200 doesn't overclock that well! I found out when I got some cheap from outpost.com

You will need to make one mod. Trust me, its worth it!!

Cut the back fan guard off. It restricts the airflow WAY TOO MUCH!!

More (minor) mods here, if you get some balls.

Will cutting that hole make the machine any quieter??

What did you use to cut it?
