060 overclockers question

[Lurch]

No.

68060 rev6 have 3 sub-revisions : -002, -004 and -006

Some -002 and -004 cannot reach 100 Mhz, don't know why exactly...

The best is the -006, I have two of them and they are working fine at 105 Mhz...

Is the -006 at the end of the model number printed on the chip? I have a 100MHz crystal on it's way so going to give this a try.

Currently it's running at 80MHz, no great loss if it doesn't work.  If 100MHz is a no go then 96MHz would be the next thing to try?

Hiya,

Yep you have the latest mask with that baby, don't worry

Like I said above, it's not just the chip, it's also down to other things like the chipset on the card and more importantly the memory on the board.

Your board has a very rare 50ns SIM so it *should* be able to handle 100Mhz.

I recently upgraded my Blizzard from 75mhz to 80Mhz but went through 3 different SIM's to get it to go that fast (Blizzard's aren't so happy to overclock as Apollo's because of the way they talk to FASTRAM).

Getting excited now, thanks Nova :-) Will be interesting to see, would be good for 130mips?

Was thinking of adding a second SIMM socket now too, don't think I'll be able to close the case at the moment with all the stuff I've put in there :-/

So I would need to track down another 50ns SIMM... hmmm.

Will be having another go this weekend to fit it all in the case, as I'd prefer that :-)

Will make sure to post some video's too, rebuilt my workbench (again) and have it on a faster 8GB CFCard.

On PFS3 060 the 1200 boots really fast. Only downside I've seen with PFS3 is copying a large amount of files, even under winuae I get it were it stalls or get buffer i/o errors.

Anyway off topic now :-)
