Overclocking a Cyberstorm 060 MkII
« on: October 01, 2005, 12:49:49 PM »
Hello Amigans. I have a CS 060 MkII in my desktop A4K and was wanting to overclock it so I bought a 66mhz oscillator but it is smaller and square shaped as opposed to rectangular. The CS board does have two extra holes to accomodate such an oscillator but there does not appear to be any tracks leading to these holes. Will the oscillator still work or will the board need modifying?

Also, from what I have read about overclocking this particular board it appears that a fan is needed. Which type of fan should I buy and where should I place it? I cannot attach a fan to the processor as there is already a big heatsink glued onto it!

Thanking you in advance,

El Noel

Sorry, that went right over my head! I am just a novice!

Right... the 14 pin 50Mhz oscillator is NOT soldered to the board so removing it is not a problem. So you are telling me that I need a 14 pin DIL socket? And I am assuming that I can fit the 8 pin 66Mhz oscillator to this socket? While, like I said previously, I am a novice when it comes to overclocking, that does not mean I have never touched a soldering iron in my life nor does it mean I am incapable of doing this. You told me which fan to use but did not say where I should place it. And with regards to the heatsink, the processor has a rather large one already attached to it. I appreciate your help but I think that something has been lost in translation...

Effy, my board looks just like that... with the extra two holes in the middle of the 14 pin socket to cater for 8 pin oscillators. I can fit my 8 pin 66Mhz to the board like in the picture but my concern was that there are no visible tracks leading to these two middle holes. Does this matter or will I need to make any modifications? I am so so with a soldering iron. And thank you to whoever it was that clarified to me where to put to fan!

Framiga, your posts are becoming increasingly cryptic!

Well firstly I will buy a fan and then if the 66mhz oscillator does not work i am sure you will be hearing from me!
