DIY Mac mini Overclocking

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the violating-warranties dept.

Don't worry : Leo Bodnar just found out how to overclock your machine. Of course, you'll have to open it prior to anything else but you already know how to do this."

    So, you wanted a 1,42GHz Mac mini but either because of some distribution woes or because of your tight budget you could just get a 1,25GHz ?

    No, not really. 1.42 GHz isn't really so much faster than 1.25 to justify voiding the warranty.

  2. The point of the hack by thodu · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People complaining that the hack is really not worth voiding the warranty are missing the whole point. It is just the coolness factor out here. Somebody, somewhere figured out that by setting those specific tiny little jumpers (I still can't believe how tiny they are), the Mac Mini could be overclocked and shared this info with the whole wide world. Appreciate that and just think about what *you* have figured out lately. Losers.

    with everything you need

    Assuming you can live with integrated video, no DVD, 128M RAM, Lindows OS, no FireWire, no DVI, no iLife, ugly box, etc.

    Come on, you're not really suggesting that that computer would be a good purchase are you?
