180mhz Wearing Out Faster

[aapje89]

I thought at gbax they didn't mod them,
but just sort the ones higher than 166 and 180 out?

14 mhz extra you probably not notice the difference so I would say its not worth it

​

You Will Notice the Extra 14mhz But at a Extra £14 its quite alot In my opinion.

133 - 156mhz is a difference of 23mhz and it makes ALOT of Difference

I can Overclock to 220mhz. The 200mhz Hacked SNES Emulator is fast

Mmmm... Its a tricky one. <_< When you think about it, those costs dont have vat so its more anyway. A 180mhz is £160 - now is that worth it? I know its always nice to have the power but I havent even used one so I dont know what difference it 'll make.

my preordered 166 blu cost me 166pounds LOL

Get it. If I waited id of got a 180mhz for the same price!

 

[Henrico]

Cool, so go for 180 then. I spose 20 odd pounds is a few pints down the pub anyway

By the way, how much is an average gp32 166 going for second hand?

 

[Henrico]

Well, I ordered my 180mhz jobby from GBAX Ive had enough of asking questions!

Henrico, I got my GP32 FLU on ebay for £90 including postage and a 128mb card, keep your eyes peeled and be patient, it pays off. Make sure you ask lots of questions first though!

 

[Henrico]

Too late

 

[El_Diablo]

well...gbax of course comes with a certain quality guarantee doesnt it, its probably safer B)

You're also paying for someone's labor to open the unit, carefully solder in the resistor, re-assemble the unit, and test it, then re-pack it.

​

Not realy because they would have to do that anyway to change the resistor for the 166mhz model I measured between 166 and 180

I paid for a guaranteed 166 blu from gbax and it wasn't modded at all B).
