Just an update. I've been using the machine like this for a bit and have found a slight problem. The machine appears to freeze due to the extra heat generated by cpu running the higher clock speed.
BUT! I also see that the cooling fan _never_ turns on during normal operation. It's also never turned on when the cpu was clocked at 250MHz. I've reset the PMU before, and when the machine powers on for the first time (green light for about 3 seconds) the fan also spins up. I can feel the air coming from the vents on the left rear corner so I'm confident saying the fan isn't faulty. I figure that since the fan isn't turning on, the heat is just building up in the heatsink and surrounding parts making the cpu overheat and stop functioning. Did some searching but haven't found a suitable explanation what controls the fan or if it can be enabled/disabled via software. Currently the machine is running 10.3.5 (if that helps anyone). If anyone can shed some light on the matter, I'm sure alot of people would be interested to hear. -nils On Wed, Sep 22, 2004 at 12:01:32PM -0700 or thereabouts, Nils wrote: > Hi all, > > Just wanted to share my success story of overclocking my > Wallstreet I 250MHz to 292MHz. > > I took some pictures and put them up here.. > > http://phrax.ca/projects/OverclockPowerbookG3Wallstreet/ > > -nils -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
