Overclocking a Cyberstorm MK1
« on: March 06, 2014, 06:04:47 PM »
Okay, so I'm curious about doing this.  From what I have read up on overclocking Amiga accelerators, you basically just need a crystal and a few other things.

I've seen plans for overclocking the newer Cyberstorm accelerators, but not the MK1.  Anyone have any idea how I'd go about doing this?  Should I do this?  I currently have a 50Mhz processor.  Can't recall what the particular model number is at the moment, but I know I looked it up at one point, and it seemed it could have been a good candidate for it.

Also, how likely is it to fry the board if I try this?  Definitely don't want to do that!

Cyberstorm MKI 060 runs at maximum between 55-60MHZ, not more. Its a "problem" with the cyberstorm itself and not of the 68060.

Ah, but that's still a semi-decent upgrade.  Though I'll say right now, it's running pretty fast with ClassicWB on it.  But it never hurts to go faster.

Yes, it can hurt a lot (in your wallet) to go faster.

Ha ha, it's already done that!  I just kind of think 66mhz would be a nice sweet spot.

Stachu100 (Stan) usually can clock a 68060 to 60MHz on a CS but why don't you ask him.  I recall reading that 66 is unstable.
