Hi guys,
i was considering overclocking my Blizzard1260 from 50mhz to 66mhz. Before i move on with replacing the crystals, i´d like to hear about issues with longtime reliability and about overall speed gains.
When using one inside desktop case, is there a possibility to use some ultraslim fan on 060 without lifting the machine a bit?
Had my Blizzard running at 66MHz for 7years before the machine and I parted company.
I had a small heatsink attached with a metal clip around the accellerator board (insulated) plus a thin smear of heatsink grease between it and the processor.
Even at 66MHz it never got as hot as the 030/50 on one of the other machines.
Tried 75MHz at one point but found some of the FPU instructions became unstable. Chip appeared to work fine as long as no FPU instructions were used.
Another side effect at 75MHz was that the SCSI board stopped working.
Preferred to stick with 66Mhz, and a stable Amiga.
Cheers,
Red
