Well I thought I'd made it clear enough in my first post, but obviously most people only read the first few lines. At the risk of repeating myself below is part of the post I sent on 25 Jan. N.B. Homepage cited is in Japanese, but can get an idea from the pictures or use the very rough Excite homepage translator, by clicking on the "English here" icon at the top left of the page. Pertinent information is that extra/better cooling on the CPU card itself was gained by having a two fan system, with the fans sitting side by side, the one above the CPU chip pulling air in and the one next to it sucking air out. Then selecting a system bus of 60MHz to get to 960MHz and even 61MHz for 975MHz, but less stable at the latter so that user decided to stay at 60Mhz/960MHz and claims it has been stable there ever since. Again this is only for thrill seekers, stability of your system is very likely to be compromised, and Sonnet would of course not warranty such overclocking.
Cheers, Pete. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <Jan 25 quote> Some S900/J700s will not go much past 50MHz, while others are capable of close to 60MHz. While the Sonnet chips do not tend to be as overclockable or adjustable as the other upgrade makers cards, there is a Japanese thrill seeker who got his S900 to run one of these Sonnet G4800/PCI upgrades close to 1Ghz by running the system bus at 60 MHz <http://www.sevencolors.net/mocw/cpu/cpu02.htm>. He used extra cooling, and claims it was stable, but of course such overclocking runs the risk of doing damage to the CPU chip and Sonnet wouldn't warranty such thrill seeking. <unquote> > Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 01:12:26 -0800 > From: Antonio Malcolm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [SM] my daughter's S900 > > Would you mind telling us how they did that?
