I read the articles about overclocking, and I want try it out on my machine. My processor (iMac DV) runs @ temperatures between 85-105 F 32-38 C (copper). I opened up my Imac toda…

I wouldn't think so, if it only runs at 105� F as a top temperature now. Just don't take the thing up past 500MHz would be my advice... I'm scared to do it on my iMac DV SE, as at …

If you do it yourself, the only thing I would suggest is being VERY careful. The resisters your are moving, are very fragile. A buddy of mine tried to overclock his iMac (bondi 2…

Great... that makes it even more simple! When I crush one resistor I get 500 MHz, when I crush two 550 MHz, When I crush them all I get a dizzling 1000 MHz ....

lol I guess it's hard to mistake a resistor for a capacitor...I know certain capacitors are used for timing purposes, and taking them out would increase speed. Just look at my OC'd…

What If i were to overclock it to 1 ghz, what would happen. Would my imac melt? Or would it not boot?What is the max speed you think I could overclock my DV SE without hurting it. …

Ok I am not saying that I have ever OC'ed a computer, but I don't think it would be wise to double the speed of a chip at a speed such as 500MHz. I think the safest speed bump you …

I tested my 400MHz DV @ 500MHz. It wasn't stable. Kinda disappointed because it was a copper one.

You have to remember, the higher clocked G3 chips are already near their limits, it's pretty rare to get an overclock from 500, but from 350 (if it is a copper), you are almost gua…

I overclocked a G3 400 to 500+ using a Applescript. It wasn't all that stable so I brought it back down. I just got some new fans an want to try to get it up to 550. I can't find t…

um.... I think you're referring to the L2 cache, cuz I've never heard of anyone software clocking the actual chip. Ca$h

You can't. Processor clockspeed is controlled by circuitry on the board.

Hmm.... I used a script, it did something the heat sink got hot as, well it got hot. I know a little about the L2. Thanks jeff

Liar.

No, I will find the script and post it later. jeff

I would _very_ much like to say that! I know you can overclock the cache and graphics chip, but the CPU?

Has anyone put some cool leds on a G4 case to make the clear plastic portitons lite up?? How bout illuminating the big apple logo and even the smaller logo on the front?? -------…

It's been done many a-time.

I surfed around the board and I started to find more and more. DUH, didn't think to lok backwards... I do like the Red LED behind the front apple logo and have it hooked up to the…

Have you done that hack? If so please email me Or post here. I want to do it, but don't want to screw anything up - and don't know how to hook it up to the HD array. TIA Cipher1…

heh, I was hopeing hat someone else has, It shouldn't be that hard, all it is is just an led hooked to two wires and they attach to 2 pins on the array. I have an external drive ca…

well crap... I took my led light and wireing out of my external case and went to wire it up, and THERE'S NO FREEKIN PORT FOR AND LED LIGHT ON THE MOBO?!?!? (Venting my fustrations…

Have you seen those turquoise-glow nightlights that plug in your wall outlet? Of course you have! Take one of those, clip the two power pins to a very short length and solder two-…

Soon I will be releasing info about how to handle those electroluminiscent nightlights.

The controller is integrated in the chipset. There is a LED connector directly on most HDs, use that instead. There should be a label on the drive with what pin does what
