Ever overclock something thats not a computer?

[Suppafly]

just wondering if anyone ever overclocked or modded anything that wasnt necessarily a normal computer.. like maybe a cd player or a playstation or a radio or something?

I've heard you can overclock the Texas Instrument calculators. But I have never tried it.

Depends on what you mean overclock. Modify something to go faster?? Then if so that would be my car, motorcylce, hmm....model rockets, straped 4 c6-7's on one before and that baby took off into orbit!! LOL..went sooo high, it was cool. What i havent done is OC a computer, I did oc the FSB to 133mhz though, not a cpu though.

Does my PDA count?

 

[Suppafly]

sure.. what can you modify on a pda?

i've thought about modding my ti-85 but sadly i could afford to replace it if i messed it up..

 

[jamesbond007]

How would you mod a calculator? If so, what would the mods do? Just curious.

 

[Kp99]

Please list how you did that...interesting...

 

[Suppafly]

you can usually overclock ti calculators quite a bit..
ticalc.org The actual page
has a big section on it. you can get a ti85 to run at almost 4x what its supposed to by changing a couple things.

[jamesbond007]

[Suppafly]

Hey Suppafly !!
I had a look at the site you mentioned. I have an "oldish" T81, hardly ever used, just lying around in a cupboard so I thought I'd have a go at OC'ing the thing.
BUT, how do you know that you've actually succeeded in OC'ing it ?
Would be fun to know, educational also.

I'm not sure.. im guessing there are programs to tell you or you could perhaps look in the games section.. try a game before and after and see if it speeds up.. graphing should be sped up too id imagine.

My BRAIN, if I don't get more cooling soon (and lower the voltage) it's gonna burn out....

I overclocked my toaster, but now all it makes is warm bread.

I overclocked my garden hose. I put my finger on the end of it when the water shoots out and it makes it shoot out a faster stream of water.

[Suppafly]

heh jumblies sounds like its underclocked now..

sweden let us know how it turns out..

 

[WarCon]

Isn't it essentially overclocking when you drop a different "brain" into one of those little cars like an Accord or something? Sure changes the horsepower.

OVer clocked my Girlfriend once. Couldnt find the KY so i used some JErkins lotion.....

Hey I just remembered a Cheapie laser pointer I bought in Hong Kong when they first came out. After a while the laser was failing even with fresh batteries, so I hooked it up to a 9V battery. It worked awesome for a few seconds each time you would turn it on, then it would die down, but still better than stock.

I think it was heating up too much b/c when I put it in the freezer, it worked much better.

 

[Suppafly]

hehe.. cool.. i wonder how much power itd take to get one of those to be a cutting laser .. heh..
