Old 486-SX 25MHz overclocked to 247MHz

...and it's also worth a few laughs! :laugh:

They offer no proof, but seeing all those beers cooling the system is really, well, cool.

It's funny but can't be done. There aren't enough multipliers and FSB speeds to hit anywhere higher than 200MHz plus those boards didn't have a way to get an odd speed like 247MHz. You had 1x-4x multiplier and 25/33/40/50MHz FSB.

BTW, in the interest of science I once overclocked a 486SX-25... forgot how high we went, perhaps to 40MHz or so. It was working... then system locked. CPU had died. My "partner in crime" was someone who enjoys a lifetime ban from here - the one and only Nowhereman!!!
