my snes runs like **** at 266. I know theres all warnings about 333, but what kind of risk am i looking at? and what are the chances?

thanks.

**OblivionX** · 07-24-2005, 08:31 AM

no risk at all, search to find out why.

**empemitheos** · 07-24-2005, 08:35 AM

your battery will run out faster but thats it.

**birdman** · 07-24-2005, 08:47 AM

in fact when running emu's your battery life is still really long when running 333, its just when you start overclocking umd games that the battery starts to die fast.

**Ibanez32** · 07-24-2005, 09:02 AM

its not really overclocking seeing as its been clocked down its just running it at the speed it was built to run at.

**pissant** · 07-24-2005, 10:40 AM

it doesnt hurt your psp at all!!

**Andre** · 07-24-2005, 10:42 AM

PSPs were made to run at 333Mhz.

**TheMysteriousThug** · 07-24-2005, 07:14 PM

it's just that people have said that there psp have bursted into flames but that's BS

**foster92** · 07-24-2005, 07:28 PM

Ya the only reason that sony clocked the psp at 222mhz is because they wanted the baterry life to last longer. but when they come out with a longer lasting battery they will start clocking games at 333MHz.....but no it does not harm your psp in any way :dance:

brett824 · 07-24-2005, 07:44 PM

No it's not safe. If you do your psp will take out a knife and stab you. And kill your family. Then explode.

**BHK_Heartless** · 07-24-2005, 07:52 PM

no it does not hurt your psp in anyway !! infact i have been playing my chrono trigger on my snes emu for 2 hours at 333 MHZ and it didnt hurt a thing !! don't listen to the storys of blowed up psp's as they are a lie and what ever idiot came up with that must have been mircowaving his PSP for an extra 5 seconds , read the label its says cook PSP for 20 seconds not 25 !!!:naughty:

**SlayerX7** · 07-24-2005, 08:19 PM

the f-ck their is no such thing as 333mhz as overclocking, itss what the psp cpu was built to run at, so your safe at running whatever you want at 333mhz

**Tsurala** · 07-24-2005, 11:15 PM

Ah, memories. My first post in any forum was dealing with an overclocking question. Overclocking can be dangerous to ANY device. Running hardware at frequencies beyond what they were rated for can do some serious damage. I overclock my PC, but that's just what I like to do.

The PSP's CPU is rated for 333MHz. Therefore, if you're playing something at 333MHz, you're not overclocking the system. You're running it at full load, but that's about it.

There have been stories about damaging PSP's when running them at 333MHz, but there haven't been any real first hand accounts that I have come across. It's always "a friend of a friend" who had their PSP fried or obliterated.

**agent_scarlet** · 07-25-2005, 03:22 AM

Ok for starters its no called overclocking because the psp is spose to run at 333, but was underclocked for reasons already stated in this thread.

**Ibanez32** · 07-25-2005, 04:06 AM

Wow an extra page of posts just to reiterate what i said on the previous page. :wall:
