Has anyone OC'ed old machines?

Like P1, P2 slots,

486 chips or even though about it?

Anyone OC'ed laptops?

Anyone tried to OC any electronic device?

Let me know. I personally tried to OC a Cyrix 2 CPU once, didnt do much, just changed the frequency, got scared so switched it back to default
 
Lol, i tried to clock my old p3 800 and is done with manual jumpers on the mobo.

Tried setting them to 900MHz and it was having none of it, even though the temp is at around 25 degrees, :eek:
 
You have to go back to the good old days of jumpers, else it is hard to overclock a no-name motherboard. Used to have my Pentium 150 @ 166Mhz. Woo!
 
Think my first proper overclock was a Pentium 133 that was happy running at 166MHz stable but had some issues when running it as 200MHz! :D

All overclocking done by switching jumpers on the motherboard. I remember the first motherboard with BIOS overclocking, think it was an ABIT BE6-II :cool:
 
best overclock i got in the days was the celeronA 300, think i had it at 450, was a big jump.

think all i did was upp the fsb from 66 to 100mhz.
 
Cyrex PR166 chip oc to PR200, pentium 166MMX to 200, AMD K5 75 to 166mhz (that was a shock), K6/2 500 to 600mhz (gigabyte GA5AX rev 4.02 iirc, best SS7 board), Thunderbird 1000 axia to ~1600 (~1850 with extreme cooling), duron 1100 aahha @ 1.33, xp1600+ @1.9.. everythign else is a bit modern

oc'd laptop, 2D gfx cards, a few fans. integrated gfx (that was fun.. and pointless), graphical calculator, monitor (1024*768 @ 72hz).....

think i remember having my old Duron 800 at around 900 or something, was young and foolish (heatsink couldnt cool an oven chip today, let alone a cpu!)

my 1700+ xp is running at just shy of 2ghz though which is cool :D
 
My K6-2 400 @ 450 with 2.4v going through it. Wouldnt go any faster :( Overclocked using the Jumpers on the board, ahhh they were the days!!! :D
 
The earliest I can remember was P120 to 133Mhz! I'm sure I'd done a P60 before that. didn't know how to do it on the old, pre-pentium, x86 machines I had.
