overclock Mac Mini 1.25 to 1.42?
I have a G4 Mac Mini 1.25 that I want to overclock to 1.42, has anyone had experience doing this? Also by chance is there a set of instructions on how to do it?

I have a G4 Mac Mini 1.25 that I want to overclock to 1.42, has anyone had experience doing this? Also by chance is there a set of instructions on how to do it? I once overclocked a 1.42 to 1.5. I think 1.25 to 1.42 may be a stretch, but it might work. I Googled on the usual suspects and got a photo which showed the four chip resistors and a description of which gave which multiplier. The board is a rather thick 6- or 8-layer job, and desoldering a chip resistor is difficult, while soldering (or re-soldering) a chip resistor is nearly impossible. I cannot remember whether so-called zero-ohm resistors were used, or pull-ups were used. In either case, the thermal issues are the same. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

If you do try this, you can count on having to add more ventilation and better cooling. Those tended to have cooling issues without the overclocking. When I overclock G4 towers, things got unstable and way to warm after about a 50mhz increase. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

... you can count on having to add more ventilation and better cooling. Those tended to have cooling issues without the overclocking. Indeed so. Only the last (and greatest) G4s are suitable for overclocking. It was dicey, at best, for 1.42 to 1.5, and it is almost suicidal for 1.25 to 1.42. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
