For sale: Blizzard PPC 060@72MHz/PPC@330MHz with SCSI phase5 rev2 - on ebay

[Franko]

Wow... I've never managed to get my 060 on my BPPC past 60Mhz, even with a fan attached to it if i stick a 64Mhz crystal in all I get Is a yellow screen...

(never attempted to overclock the PPC side though, not sure if it can be done and don't fancy knackering nearly 500 quids worth of kit...)

[Franko]

I'm not overclocking the original CPU's.
I'm doing an upgrade: removing old 040 or 060 CPU and installing completely new CPU which can be overclock up to 120MHz. Unfortunately 120MHz is waaaaaay too much for Blizzard PPC - that is why 060 clock is set to 72MHz.
 
The same for PPC: I do not overclock existing CPU - I'm removing old CPU and installing new PPC CPU rated by Motorola to work with 300MHz, but working at 330MHz without any problems.
All this info is describen in the auction.

Ooops.. Pardon Me, Sorry... No Need To Shout You Know

I was merely say wow... wish I was able to clock my BPPC to those speeds...

[Franko]

Exactly.
I saw too many turbo boards where users wanted to overclock the cards. Result was a disaster (only some pictures):

And many more.
That is why i highlited that I'm not overclocking, I'm upgrading.

EEEK... After seeing those, I'll stick with 60/240Mhz thanks...

@ stachu100

On my BPPC 060/240Mhz would it be worth swapping the 60Mhz crystal for the PPC side to a 64Mhz crystal I have, or would this not make much difference. I've often wondered if I should give it a try...

[Franko]

For 256MHz?  It's a power of 2, how can you resist!?

I know, I know, but I just love to tinker...

(I thought it was a power of 4)

[Franko]

It is.

4^4 = 256

2^8 = 256

It's also a power of 16!

Smart A£$@, Too much for me I'm off to re-heat the last of my Vindaloo, and go to bed and watch some WWE... (we'll somebody's gotta watch it... )
