    Hey guys,

    after years I'm looking for a way to overclock the ASPIRE 1820PTZ. I wonder if so far anyone tried it. Couldn't find anything via google or forum search.

    Can anyone give me some indications where to find more information on that topic?

    Cheers
    Maggnet

    This is totally from memory but my recollection is that the CPU in the 1820TZ requires a physical modification to Overclock with SetFSB since it's PLL is TME. I think you have to do a Pinmod to make it Overclock, which requires a significant amount of skill.
