The Sonnet G4 designed for Cube will not need an upgraded VRM; in the day Sonnet upgrades weren't bleeding edge and I didn't think much of them, but now they're my choice for upgrade as they are reliable and stable.
Looks like it's an Encore ST G4. 1Ghz.
Manual says you need to install a fan if using a Cube. No worries there.
But it also says if you have the 800mhz and 1200mhz, nothing else is needed. But if you're using the 1Ghz, it's saying you need a newer VRM?
Can anyone comment on this? You'd think a 1.2ghz would use more power vs. the 1Ghz.
As-is, my cube has the hard drive replaced with an SSD, a small fan installed (connected to the hard drive power cable), and I've swapped the DVD drive out for a newer model. Oh, and a Radeon 7500 vs the Rage 128.. You think I can squeak by on my VRM with the 1Ghz?
I'll buy a newer one if I have to, but they're damn near $200.
