All attempts at making Ventilation Holes in the Power Tower case have failed (My room is littered with dead and dying drill bits). However I've spent the afternoon modifying the 486 heatsink I...

All I need to do now is sort out the Ventilation issue and things should be working fine. From what I've read on other sites the 300Mhz solution will be by changing the multiplier to x5 which doesn't...

I've trying to drill some ventilation holes in my Power Tower casing and I swear the things made of Titanium or something, it's killed several drill bits. I'm going to go to a hire shop and see if...

We're up to 40Mhz 040 and 266.67Mhz PPC. Not too sure if I'm going to keep the 040 at 40Mhz though as things are beginning to get quite warm in my tower. I may just do some shotgun ventilation holes...

80 Mhz crystal and Heat sink and fan fitted. No smoke however I forgot that by upping the crystal for the PPC you up the bus speed and it's too much for the memory. Whilst it does workish in 3.9 it's...

Just in case I've managed to get my hands on a new 486 heat sink and fan which I'll Jury Rig to fit the BPPC. Cant wait now. If only the 040 could stand being overclocked to 40Mhz or even...

Possibly another Heat Sink and fan but on the website the guy had a PPC at 270 Mhz without any problems. What I'll probably do is see if it works for about half hour first and then work out about a...

AmigaKit have an 80 Mhz crystal in stock. That'll boost my PPC to 280Mhz which is about as fast as a 603 can go and as I'm using the sockets it's easy to install a new crystal. In the words of a...

It's Alive!!!!!! Today i completed the upgrade by adding a 66.667 Mhz crystal to my PPC so that it now runs at 233 Mhz and everything works fine. The best thing is as i've installed them via 8-DIN...

Just replaced the crystal for my 040 it's gone from 18.95 Mips to 25 Mips and running smoothly. Now I've done that i'll look into Overclocking my PPC. Shame I can't get a 40 Mhz crystal though.

I've just been reading more on the overclocking of the PPC and my board is a 210 as it has a 60 Mhz crystal running at 3.5x not the standard 66.67Mhz running at 3.0x yet it's never been overclocked....

I'll be following all the instructions from here so i should be allright so long as my soldering hand stays steady and true.

For the time being i don't need an 060 and i'll just try boosting the 040 and if i decide to upgrade to an 060 the new crystal i'll be putting in will mean that i can run the 060 at 66.67 mhz for a...

The problem is the 040 is not in a socket and removing it and installing a new 060 would be beyond my skills.

In the foolhardy realisation that i'm not getting any younger I've decided that i'm going to speed up my Blizzard PPC. I'm first going to try by increasing the speed of my 040 to 33 MHZ (heatsink and...
