060 F43G mask overclockability...(question)
« on: March 14, 2004, 04:33:58 PM »
Would like to know if anyone has any good experience with this mask. Does it get too hot at 66mhz?
Thx

Just poping it up in case someone knows, I posted this in the weekend so it was viewed by less people I guess...

I have it running at 56MHz without any heatsink but I have two fans in the case (the original desktop case). I tried overclocking it and added a small heatsink between the CPU and the keyboard (the CPU is faced upwards). It was not enough because the computer was very unstable. Maybe in a bigger case and proper cooling...

edit: and with overclocking I meant 56MHz -> 66MHz ;-)

Thx for answer..Hmmm, I had a deal for one of those but I guess it's not worth it. That mask is the oldest one and it's probably because of that that it doesn't go to 66mhz very well...

@Jose

I was able to run mine (F43G) stably at 66MHz, although any more
(even a few MHz) would start crashing the FPU.

BTW -- Mine was rated at 60MHz, but there are quite a few running
their 50MHz "F43G"s at 66MHz...most should handle it reliably with
some cooling.

The ultimate would be one of the newer 060's...some of them can
be pushed up to 100MHz. One of these on an AGA amiga would make
a pretty cool machine for watching old demos.
