A3000/16mhz to 25mhz

It would seem that with a new oscillator and moving your jumpers to the 25mhz settings would work, but my 68030/16 reached the temperature of the sun.
A heat sink wouldn't help this poor little CPU.
Like with all CPU's you can't be certain how it will react to increasing the clock speed, just try it and watch the temps.

But honestly, its much easier to find a fast slot CPU card then to risk damaging your existing motherboard.

My A3000D/16 has a 3640 Rev 3.1 working great in it, just had to improvise a better heat sink solution.

Hmm.. Well if compatibility is key and if your CPU can't handle 25Mhz, it maybe possible to use a A3630 while keeping the 50Mhz crystal on your motherboard, as this card uses the timing from the motherboard.

On second thought, this still may over clock your onboard 030 and burn it up.

I don't have a 3000 with a socket for the oscillator or I would try it for you.

Has anyone tried this?
