    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 3.1 Overclocking. Keyboard problem

    I see that most of overclockers here prefer to buy Xeon 3.2 GHz(for FSB = 400GHz) and 400GHz memory. Not a good choice because the entire overclocking process will be limited by memory frequency limit. That is why most of results are in the range 3.4-3.5GHz. I bought two Xeon X5460(3.16)...

    Will we ever see M-series chips with higher clock speeds in some systems?

    There's a lot of discussion on x86 vs Arm already, but in addition to the perf-per-watt war I'm not understanding the value of the Mac Pro vs Studio featuring the same M2 Ultra setup. Where's the value in the Mac Pro unless the clock speeds were pushed higher than the Studio's version? Do...

    GPU Tinkering for 2010 iMac

    Hello all, I recently acquired (for free) a 2010 iMac that wasn't operational. I got the OS running again, but it was all but unusable. So I upgraded the ram from 4 to 8 GB, added in an SSD in addition to the original HDD and ODD, replaced the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU, and upgraded...

    The quest for the perfect Bondi Blue

    Hi all! I am currently trying to build the beefiest Bondi iMac on the planet. At the moment this is the configuration of my Rev B: 512 mb ram / 300 Mhz (overclocked 233 Mhz CPU) Voodoo2 card SSD I think there is still room for improvement. I've read about legends that reballed beefier CPUs...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Clock Generator (PLL) of 4,1-5,1 for Further Overclocking Investigation

    s anyone know clockgenerator (pll) chip/chips of cMP? It should be on cpu tray. I can't access my 4,1 right now but hi-res photos is ok for investigating. I'm looking for further software overclocking possibilities. Also, looking for ram overclocking possibilities and tightening timing options...

    Retina MacBook PRO 15 2012 w GT650m. When I play games/use high GPU demand soft, my pc start to black screen/reboot, because of GPU reaching 80'+ degrees (or to high clock/voltage). Maxout fans isn’t working. I can underclock GPU in Windows and it fixes problems. Any how to fix GPU in Mac OS...
