How I made my 030 50 1200 tower clock @ 133Mhz

[dmac721]

  Just screwing around and I had some 1/16th copper capillary tubing and some old air conditioning equipment so I coated the accelerator with poly all except for the cpu and wound a coil and used a mound of heat sink compund and mashed it to the cpu, fashioned a crystal and an adaptor from an old x86 and put it on board, then I placed the orifice about 3 inches from the coil, I ran the out put to a second coil (an ac condensor and hooked up the input side , charged the system with r-12 (yeah I still have a 30 lb can) and turned on the cooler. The evap coil I made froze almost instantly and so did the 68030 heh.

  The monkey hits the switch and it comes on but there are some problems, my mouse moves way too fast, I can't seem to figure how this happened any ideas?

  Second I can't get any games to work at all, all I can make work is imagine and it rednders lightning fast but forget modeling anything hah!

  If anyone knows how to clock the board up right lemme know.

Umm.. Have you been eating funny mushrooms? :lol:

Shoot the T-1000 before it's too late!

NICE!

do you have any pictures of it

So you're using 133MHz 68030 (166% overclock from 50MHz), implying a 133MHz FSB speed (unless you completely modified the board to cope with that) with ordinary 60ns SIMMs and you can get it to boot? I find that pretty hard to believe to be honest ;-)

Even if you aren't pulling our legs, it would still only be as fast (in code execution terms) as a good 33MHz 68040 board.

Thats such a load of crap.

Memory chips wouldn't work, and the mouse would be unaffected by Processor speed increase.

I'll give you a C-, "Must try harder".

{bleep}ing hell some people talk sh*t, this one can go on the pile of myths about A500s running a 68000 at 100Mhz etc etc...

@lorddef

Don't you have a 60MHz 68030? It's only another 73MHz on top :lol:

If you were paying attention to the story, you'd know he was sniffing refrigerant! :-)

What's going on in this room, there is too much blue smoke.. :-D

[JurassicCamper]

It might not that unbelievable if he was talking about an 040, they require an oscillator at twice the cpu clock frequency.

Even so i've never heard of anyone running a 66.5 Mhz 040
 
If anyone can remember fraggle from #gas, circa 1999,  he had his apollo 040 40Mhz clocked up to 55Mhz with an 110mhz oscillator from onspec, but never got any faster than that.

I do remember reading that Motorola engineers used to run the 68000 at 50Mhz (and HCMOS I presume). Though AFAIK the 68000 was never comercially used at that speed... I guess the 030 was avaiable and more powerful by the time they could get a 68000 at that speed.

*cough* *splutter*

It's not so dense yet that you can't still see the red herring though :lol:

Nice story.  A 030/133MHz would just barely outperform an 040/40Mhz and not even touch an 060/50MHz.  Now, an 060 at 100MHz with liquid cooling would be something to see.
