    Overclocking was supposed to be a geek thing. Here's one from Asus that makes it child's play, or does it?

    Build, HSF, OC Gear looks cool, Performance, Good overclocker.

    Dual slot, OC Gear has no practical use, Expensive.

Now we all know where the Nvidia 8600GT stands in the pecking order, and how it's a good replacement for the oh-so-old 7600GT. And in a bid to get the average Joe buy a card from them, manufacturers like Asus have come up with a strategy to bundle some add-on hardware for the tinkering minds. The Asus EN8600GT OC Gear is one such option.

The EN8600GT OC Gear has the following items bundled:



Asus GeForce 8600GT graphics card
OC Gear overclocking module
DVI-VGA Connector
S-Video-Composite cable.
CD/DVD Case
Asus and OC Gear Software CD
Graphic card drivers CD
Asus and OC Gear Software Manuals

Let's understand what this OC Gear overclocking module really is.

I always recommend asus graphic cards to all my cusotmer- all other graphic cards are only trying to dump into the country with only tag of price without real performance

Best bargain in Video Cards in India today is 8600 GT-Zebronics- with warranty --Rs. 6000 This Asus is just pc of expensive crap being off loaded on India. In US- U can pik it up cheap--just $ 132. Even 8600GTS are selling for $ 140 onwards.
