 		 #131272 - Overclocking
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:
I have no doubt that you will find that some samples of 12MHz parts run well at 18MHz, simply because they are "downlabeled" by the manufacturer to have stock of a given flavor, but that does not in any way mean that chips in the next shipment will. Many idiots (I use this word I know reluctantly, but here it fits) have posted "you can run part xxx faster than the datasheet states"

Lots of people have lots of fun "overclocking" their PCs - ie, seeing how far they can exceed the PC's specified speed and still have it "work".

You can read of their exploits on many web forums - and of all the weird things that start going wrong because of it!

The bottom line is: if you want to spend hours chasing "weird" bugs, then go ahead and exceed the datasheet limits - but if you want it to work, and have the manufacturer honour the warranty if it doesn't, then stick to the datasheet limits.

                                                                              Your conclusion doesn't follow, Jan            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 I did not discuss the appropriateness of any...            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                        What latency is that, Erik?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           I already did            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                                 not me, necessarily            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    Just how would that occur?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       finally you got it.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               Once again, Erik, you\'ve missed the point            01/01/70 00:00

                                                            Jan, it\'s not my \"red herring\"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               not so wide range of applications            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  What do you mean?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     this discussion or engineering?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        Oh, this annyoing beating arround the bush!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           Sorry Erik!            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                              Yes, the learner's progress            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 Is that not obvious?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    nope ... not that simple            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       in the post you are responding to!!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    Erik, You have no argument ... just an opinion            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       wrong once more            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                          Erik, YOU said it affects nothing            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                             this is NOT about \'me\' or \'mine\'            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                there you go again ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                   it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with any specific            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                      We definitely disagree on this ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                         if you can not accept this being general, then            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                            It has to be personal and about YOU, Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                               I thought so            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                  Now you've proven my point, Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                     back to technical ONLY            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                        So, what's the problem?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                           what good would that do?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                              Can't you support your dubious assertions?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                 no ';cases' please            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                    Without specifics, there's no proof            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                       I will not            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                          All you've done so far, Erik, is huff and puff ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                             I have given you 'details'            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                                Maybe, but your \"details\" don\'t support your claim            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  Jan, there are always tradeoffs            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     forgetting the \"methods of yore\" and instead discu            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               he can            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  There's a semantic problem ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     already answered            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         Get over it, Erik ... I don't want your "secrets"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            once more ignoring interrupt latency bugs            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               You keep referring to interrupts ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  I even made that exception            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     That's probably quite true            01/01/70 00:00      
   Why "non-specific/vague question" karma point??            01/01/70 00:00      
      You don't get more vague than...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Come on...            01/01/70 00:00      
            question vs answer            01/01/70 00:00      
            we still only guess            01/01/70 00:00
