Extreme Amiga overclocking.

[redrumloa]

As mentioned in an earlier thread I am stocking up on crystals for overclocking. The first order arrived yesterday and will be listed shortly. But that's not the point of this thread.

I'd like to hear people's experiences overclocking their Amiga hardware. Id like to hear not only the traditional drop in replacement of the accelerator crystal, but extreme modifications. I am testing an unusual modification atm that has me experiencing quite impressive results.

So gimme stories:-)

Is the Amiga 4000D schematics online anywhere? I have just about every shop manual except the A4000:-(

Well this is interesting..

System:
CSPPC 200 & 060/50 (not overclocked yet, stock speed)
Prometheus with Voodoo 3 2000 (not overclocked yet)

I have done one small, unusual modification that isn't even an overclock, and I am smoking all the 3D benchmarks on AmigaSpeed.de! Those systems has faster CPUs and faster GFX cards. Hmm...

This is getting very interesting...Very interesting indeed...

Bah humbug! Your Amiga 2000 Professional probably wouldn't benefit from overclocking, but there is nothing wrong with users tweaking their systems if they take some precautions. As for me I am seeing a 30% improvement in Quake II framerate, and I havn't even overclocked anything yet:-D

@Mugo

I will in due time.. There is more testing and experimenting to do and I have more parts on order..

All in due time.. Sorry if it sounds like I'm gloating, I'm not. I just want to not only perfect, but also verify what I'm doing is safe and does not affect stability etc.

Do you have all your wares listed on your EStore
or do you have another site??

I have most items listed on the eShop, though I will be adding more items this weekend.

But has anyone tried over-clocking the MoBo on any Amiga?

Yes. You know what happens? The syetem gets slower, much slower.

But you are getting warm:-)
