| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-02-18 09:54:41 Mcdermd has been hosting this really great website, It Breaks down the Models and has info on how to over clock http://www.applefool.com/clockchipping/ So far my favorite over-clocked machines are: LC-III -(25) -->33mhz http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19430 Macintosh IIsi -(20) -->25mhz http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=17923 Quadra 605 -(25) -->33mhz http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19310'>http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19310 LC-475 -(25) -->33mhz http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19310 Quadra 700 -(25) -->28-32mhz http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/pub/infomac/info/_Hardware/quadra-700-clock-mod-145.txt There was someone on this forum that did this oc with pictures but I cannot find the thread! Quadra 840av Mcdermd --- Wanna oc this and make a Thread?? 48mhz????? 🙂 ! Heck Yeah! Powermac / Preforma 6100 -(60-66) -->90mhz http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20392 Quadra / Preforma 610 -(20) -->25-30+mhz http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20386 The LC-III is by far the easiest to OC, you just remove one resister and relocate it on the bottom. If you have any other threads or info you want to post please do! | |
| Posted by: ClassicHasClass on 2013-02-18 10:41:24 My Q800 has a NewerTech clip-on overclock. Right now it's set to 40MHz. I'm thinking of dropping it to 38MHz so I can install the 601 card, but really, that extra 2MHz makes a big deal in A/UX and it's a pretty lousy Power Mac (compared to my 6116CD and 7100). | |
| Posted by: Byrd on 2013-02-18 14:36:54 I bought a few NewerTech Powerclips for my Q950/840AV/Q700, and stuffed if I can get them to work. But the 840AV will be the best candidate for it, when I get the time to try the chips out again. JB | |
Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-02-18 15:59:28Mcdermd has been hosting this really great website,It Breaks down the Models and has info on how to over clockI just grabbed all of the clock chipping pages from Marc Schrier's MobileMe site before it closed. Mcdermd --- Wanna oc this and make a Thread?? 48mhz????? 🙂 ! Heck Yeah!Haha, no. That one stays stock. | |
| Posted by: trag on 2013-02-21 14:36:39 Thank you for rescuing that. That site was a fantastic resource in its day and still of great interest at this late date. It was very kind of Marc Schrier to keep it up as long as he did. The Turbo601/66 article (in the upgrades section) is mine, BTW. 🙂 | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-06-27 11:15:02 I am going to change the oscillator in my q800 tonight. I can't seem to find it ... there was a great page that has details on the over clocking q700 / q900 / q800/ q950 / q840av I want my q800 to run at 40mhz or more ... i want everything to work,,, serial ports etc. i remember after 42mhz the serial ports stopped working. | |
| Posted by: TylerEss on 2013-06-27 12:47:31 I really enjoyed my Turbo040 clock chipped @48MHz. http://www.fenestrated.net/~macman/Turbo040/ | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-06-27 13:26:44 wow a 50mhz 040 IIci that is insane !! 🙂 lol | |
| Posted by: TylerEss on 2013-06-27 18:55:00 Better... it was a 50MHz 68040 SE/30. 😎 50MHz was only stable long enough to get the screencap, but 48 ran like a top for years and years. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-06-27 19:56:50 so pretty much the 68040 stops right at 50mhz... not even water cooling could take it farther? | |
| Posted by: Byrd on 2013-06-27 23:12:43 Bus speeds and timing/instability at higher speeds would be the main issues with a highly overclocked '040, not heat ... | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-11-22 13:14:40 has anyone ever been able to get the cpu in ether the IIcx or SE/30 up a little? w/o a daystar etc... | |
| Posted by: MinerAl on 2013-11-24 08:38:46 From what I understand about the compacts (including the SE/30), because the video timing comes from the lobo, you can't OC them. Maybe with an external monitor, but then what's the point? | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-11-24 09:19:03 25 mhz? | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2013-12-09 09:56:11 Didn't some of the fancier 3rd party mods overclock without modifying the timing and stuff? | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-12-09 10:59:24 MinerAI might know 🙂 or Trag 🙂 Trash? I dunno… i mean the SE/30 is fine at 16mhz… Likewise with the IIcx. The jump from IIcx to IIci was a big step, from what I can tell. even using the same ram/rom/video card the IIci really becomes quite a snappy monkey @25mhz. OH, sorry i forgot the IIci has the apple cache card installed… witch does help its speed a good amount. my next project is getting my q800 @40mhz+ I should just buy one of those $9.99 clip on boosters from ebay. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-12-22 16:51:48 ok i coped out… Mark give me a http://www.ebay.com/itm/NewerTech-MacClip-Jr-Quadra-800-840av-/160923554725?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2577ca93a5  So i used it to over clock my Quadra 800 to 40 mhz. I acutely replaced the cpu with a 40mhz 040 as well. It runs at like 41.48 says the speed-o app that came on the floppy with the Mac-Clip. It seems to me like the macclip is a little hokey. Its not on there all that well. The Macclip thing clips right to the OSCILLATOR chip on the mainboard. Disabling it and inserting its own clock. Maybe i'll put a drop or 2 of goop to hold it on there a little better... | |
