New and Improved N64 Overclocking Guide

I've revamped and updated Rob Ivy's N64 overclocking guide with some new and improved information and diagrams, and it's moved along with Epic Gaming to the following URL. Hope you like it.

hey, sorry, i had to register to add a tip, you may also want to say that you can have the switches set to switch 112 to A and 116 Switch set to B to get the standard 1.5x multiplier and that 3.3v on pin 112 and GND on pin 116 is the standard setting, i have not done this, info is from gamesx.com, if you tried and confirmed this, it would help, Great easy to navigate site that has the info well organised, and good switch idea too. Josh.

Hm, I'll check on this and update the guide if appropriate. Thanks for the tip!

hey i was just wondering, i have heard that 2.0 multiplier works on almost all, but have you gotten 3.0 to work? and if so what kind of cooling do you have? One last one, do you have rogue squadron or battle for naboo? when you blow something up the frame rate slows to like 4 or 5 if that, does overclocking the CPU fix that? Thanks again, Josh.

The reliability greatly differs from unit to unit. Some people can get to 3x, while others can't get past 1.5x. Te only way to know for sure is to try for yourself. The more cooling, the better. Try to get some really high quality heatsinks and high output fans. You should use the wind tunnel approach (left side has input fan, and right side has output). If you really want some heat removal, try using some aqua cooling(similar to a car's engine cooling setup).
