B&w Oc

[acidtuch10]

Hey ~~ Hopping someone has a Blue and white G3 with some OC experience ???? I have up'd mine from 350 to 400 and am having no issues what so ever!! Think it may be safe to OC to 450 with a fan directly on the CPU??? Opinions and experiences would help me out !!

Thanks

As long as you keep the processor below 65°C at max, you should be pretty safe. But there's a fair chance it won't boot at all on 450 MHz. What you might try then is raising the voltage a little, but be sure to keep it within the processors specifications. It could also be an idea to mount a larger heatsink on the processor

Check out http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/links.html , btw, there are a couple of good OC links there
There are a lot of experienced overclockers in their forums, too, but it's currently closed for registrations (and it's been for a year or so now...)

400 is as far as I would go. Anything more might lead you to either replace the chip with another G3 or a new G4 processor.

Good luck!

^_^ Thanks for the tip.
