Ah....the smell of solder in the mornin'

QuadraJets Junior Member USA 344 Posts	Posted - 12 Jan 2003 : 17:02:13 I got bored this morning, so I overclocked my Feetsmac to 42mhz. I borrowed some resistors and an oscillator from a dead 6100 mobo, and now I have one fast webserver...

QuadraJets Junior Member USA 344 Posts	Posted - 19 Jan 2003 : 12:22:08 um, its a feetsmac, a quadra 605... For the heck of it, and for a faster snood/soitaire/AIM mac for my parents, I overclocked my LC475 to 40mhz too. As far as heatsinks go, the 605 has a 486 heatsink/fan, and the 475 has a huge @ss heatsink I stole from my dead 1710's deflection board. Now I plan on doin some resistor swapping on my 6360 Artillery Commander/Engineer, 68kMLA Liberated: LCII , III+, IIci, Q700, 800, and 840av, P550, 410 Contraband: Beige G3/300 MT o/c 400mhz, (2) 6100's Keeper of the 68kmla Hotline mirror server: 68k.dyndns.org

I plan on doin that to my 475, but i need to replace the 25mhz specific PLL generator (MC88920) with a better one. Anyone got a dead 33+mhz '040 mobo? otherwise, I'll just resort to digikey (15 bux! expensive!)

Clinton Full Member USA 700 Posts	Posted - 21 Jan 2003 : 22:23:30 could you not fake it and install something to sort of keep the i/o isolated in their own little subbus? probally required at the board design level, but just a thought that could push a feetsmac to 140mHz with liq. nitrogen cooling, and USE OF SERIAL PORTS!!!

davis3031 Starting Member USA 7 Posts	Posted - 22 Jan 2003 : 11:57:43 If you overclock the 840av, the DSP (digital signal processor) might not work correctly or at all since both processors most likely have to use the same multiplier and the DSP might not work at a new speed. I might be completely wrong though if you somehow just overclock the main processor itself...
