Re: How far can I push an 040/25?

Years ago I had an A3640 in my A4000, which I later upgraded to a Warp Engine. I purchased the Warp without an 040 and transferred my existing 25MHz 040 into it. I was able to overclock it to 40MHz with perfect reliability. I later sold the Warp to a friend, and it is still running reliably to this day.....at 40 MHz.

I found that 40MHz was the absolute maximum - any more and it would crash. I did try genuine 40Mhz 040s in the Warp and got just under 45MHz.

I used a 486 CPU cooler with fan to keep the 040 cool.

It is also possible to get an A3640 past 33MHz, with an additional cut and jumper mod.
