Overclocking Amiga 1200

[PulsatingQuasar]

Hello,

Couple of thoughts!!!

1) If I would the replace the 28 MHz chrystal on the Amiga motherboard with a 30 MHz or a 25 MHz one, what would happen???

Would the whole system go bonkers...  :crazy:  :crazy:

2) Many years ago in Amiga Format the technical letter answer guy said that you might get a faster system if the chrystal of the turbo board and the motherboard had one and the same timing.

If I would remove the chrystal of my turbo board ( 50 MHz) and put some elektronics behind it that divides it by two (25 MHz) and give that to the motherboard and the 50 MHz again to the turbo board, would that work!!!

The motherboard speed would then be exactly divided by two and the timing problem would be much better!!

Or is what the guy said nonsense!!

3) If I buy two graphic chip coolers and fans and glue them on my 68030 and FPU 50 MHz from the Blizzard-IV would it be able to run 60 MHz!!

If this would work I could run the board at 60 MHz and the 1200 at 30 MHz also having the same timing.


I'm I the only one with thoughts about an overclocked Amiga 1200?

Whoops... put it in the wrong place!!!

Those are interresting answers!! Thanks to both of you.

Now I will have to get me some normally sized chip/graphic chip coolers and saw a hole in the Amiga 1200 case where the copro resides.
That doesn't matter; I have a spare case from towering my other Amiga 1200 with a BlizzardPPC and a BVisionPPC.

Now I will have to get a 60 MHz chrystal from somewhere in the Netherlands.
