Re: Overclocking the 68060 cpu

About  5 years ago I overclocked my CS Mk II from 50Mhz  to 60Mhz  (anything higher would yield crashes, lockups or just black screens.
It ran flawlessly until last month and then .... nothing, no startup.
I sent it to Jean Jacques of www.amiga.fr and he has now repaired it but he advises against overclocking st ating that it's not the COU that one worries about, it's all the other little components on the board. He seems to be doing a thriving business in repairing Mk II's & MkIII's so maybe I'll take his advice and when it arrives back here I will resist the temptation to overclock.
After all, there is no comparison to a stock A4000T  040 at 25Mhz with 16mb of fast and an A4000T 060 with 128 + 16 mb
The stock 040/25mhz setup seems almost painfully slow.
My opinon ( not advice) is do not overclock if you want to use your Cyberstorm for a long time
