Overclocking Clamshell iBook

Hey, I noticed a post earlier about someone who overclocked the iBook clamshell and I want to know how stable it is. If anyone has done this I would really appreciate some feedback.

Thanks,
Nate

300mhz blueberry went to 433

300mhz blueberry went to 433 just fine for me.
466 caused bad audio and graphics problems.
at 433 it gets a little warm since there is no fan in the ibook.
but in my case it was worth the heat. videos play a lot smother at 433.
however not all of them can go to 433.
my friends was very unstable, so we had to drop it back to 400.

hope some of this helps.

Hey Tech, I'm thinking about

Hey Tech, I'm thinking about overclocking my blueberry clamshell too! Can you tell me how you went about setting/removing the resistors to perform the overclock? Is there any soldering or cutting of resistors involved?

TIA

start at Marc Schrier's overclock page

http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/mhz.html

where you'll find this link:

Yes, there is unsoldering-and-soldering-of-tiny-resistors involved, not to mention the minor (NOT!) chore of completely disassembling the entire 'Book.

Does this work with newer iBo

Does this work with newer iBooks? I have a 466mhz iBook SE, I'd love to overclock it to at least 500mhz, the diagram on that page is similar but I can't find the exact point. He says "Configure the set of Resisters labelled "R7" to "R14" which are under side of "System Module"" Does the person mean on the back side of the motherboard? I'm confused Sad

Resistor Location

I don't know if itll work with your SE iBook, but if you look at the pictures, you can see the capacitors are above the processor when it is right side up. You can tell b/c u can see the RAM slot, the hard drive "cavity", etc.

Hope this helps!
