What have you overclocked, other than a PC?
Id have loved an overclocked Amiga back in the day if higher frame rates were a possibility!
Or a modded Stunt Race FX Nintendo cartridge with a FPS boost!

I er... underclocked the toilet to use less water with each flush

Not technical enough to OCanything electrical

Or.... what was your most impressive PC overclock?

I overclocked my Acorn Atom from 1MHz to 2MHz.
And my 2000 diesel focus with a Van Aaken module. It gave 25 extra horses, 40 extra torques and a huge cloud of black smoke when I booted it.

Black smoke! :cry:

My first car, a 1987 D-reg 1.2L Vauxhall Nova

When I needed to have the car converted from 4* to unleaded, I watched the mechanic twist the distributor cap slightly.

This got me inquisitive, so I marked the new setting before trying different settings. In the end, I found a setting that would do over 70mph in 2nd gear, would do 0-60mph in 9.5 seconds whilst being mega fuel efficient.

The only downside was the the timing was out to start the car, the electricity would flow from the distributor back to the coil (I think) and it sounded like the battery was flat whilst trying to start.

Thats really interesting.
