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

Expert Rating:

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

EXPERT REVIEW

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.
