Hi.

Simple question: is there any 'danger' in overclocking the a3400 030 board?
Is it possible to replace the 25 mhz crystal by a 33 mhz or 40 mhz one?
(i know the risks for the cpu).
Or is the mobo also affecte by the crystal on the cpu board (which imho it isn't)
Just checking if someone has done it before?
I'm waiting for a chance and the bucks to pick up a 060/ppc board...but 25 mhz is slooooow

The "a3400 030 board" is the CPU board that comes with the  A4000/030 (just here in front of me)

So it has a SMD plastic 68030EC CPU. that i highly reccomend to NOT O-C.

A4000Bear

this model with a 68030 ceramic CPU (EDITED not ceramic one . . .sorry)

HERE can be easy OC.

But this one A3200/A3400 it is another model/layout kind of card (the one that my A4000/030, had when i purchased it brand new)
It has a plastic SMD 030 . . . are you sure that you had OC to 33 Mhz those small card?

Let me know.

Ciao

EDIT- ops sorry :-)

the cards are  . . .the same :-)

Anyway, its amazing that those small card, could be O-C to 33 Mhz and without any coolings. . . sorry again A4000Bear, today i've learned a thing new for me.

Hi Effy,

interesting . .  .i ever thought to a similar gear.

If i understood well, this is an adjustable quartz with a sort of connector, plugged to the original quartz socket.(or where the socket was soldered).

Nice idea, for testing pourposes too.
