FS: Nintendo64 w/overclock

Usual NTSC-U N64 board revision CPU-05 if memory serves (unfortunately no easy way to RGB mod this guy) with a twist: this one has an oveclocking switch.

Perfect Dark and Golden Eye are silky smooth, maybe too smooth I'm not sure. Hybrid Heaven runs too fast even with the Expansion Pak enabled for high-rez graphics. Turok 2 is extremely picky about booting when overclocked.

Overall it doesn't really like to run very long overclocked with the games I've tried it with. The thing is EXTREMELY picky unless it's Perfect Dark which seems to run fine for the most part. Your mileage WILL vary so keep that in mind if you're thinking you're getting a machine to run 50 hour Goldeneye marathons on (I can't guarantee it'll run for 50 hours overclocked without it kicking the bucket, especially knowing some of you who have cooked 360s inside of entertainment centers...). Plan on running it non-overclocked as most games flat out don't run well/at all when overclocked. This might be improvable with the removal of the thermal pads and replacing it with thermal grease but I'm not really sure this is an overheating issue.

This unit also has the usual scuffs as you can see.





Asking $20 for the N64, power and A/V cables plus shipping. It does work wonderfully.

 

Are you clocking it to 2.0x or 3.0x on the multiplier setting?

 

2.0x. I have another where I've overclocked it to 1.5x and it runs just fine, but with a newer board revision.

I didn't even bother trying to see if 3.0x would run.

 

1.5 is the default any less and it's underclocked

 

Ha, someone should tell Gamesx.com that. I didn't notice it running any slower at 1.0x but I was running Aero Gauge as a tester at the time.

 

Goldeneye looks like slow motion when underclocked at 1.0x (66mhz or so). AeroGuage would run at 0.5x

 

Bumpity. Lowered price.

 

I know I'm late, but are you still selling this?
