Overclock iBook 366 FireWire

Submitted by olikicksmacs on September 23, 2006 - 7:17pm. Hardware Hacks

OK, so my iBook is in the mail! Grin Can't wait to get it here. Now, ive heard stories of overclocking 300's to 400mhz. Now from what i can tell, the 366 fw and the 466 are exactly the same apart from the processor speed. So does that mean i can safely overclock it to 466? i would love to go higher, but dont know if it would be safe. I just want to see how far I can push it. I can easily get another board if it frys, but i dont really want to have to do that! Anyone ever oc'd a 366 or 466 and would say how far they got it, but still working safely?

thanks!

ive seen a 366 clocked to 400 and 433

ive clocked a 300 to 400. it was easy was very very stable

perhaps if you added a small fan it would be a little more stable and reliable.

when i clocked mine to 400 it got quite toasty

anyone know what a 466 would oc to? found this site which gives resistor settings for the bus speed as well:

if i got a 466 motherboard, it says i could get it to 82.5mhz bus speed with 577mhz processor speed. is this true?

thanks

ok, tried the 366 66 --> 453 82.5 resistor settings, but no change. according to system profiler, im still at 366 66. hmm. Ive soldered/resoldered multiple times but im still getting the same result. any advice? thanks
