How Likely Is It That A Blu Won't Clock To 166?

[HXC]

Hey again =P

And, just as the title says: How likely is it that a Blu won't clock to 166?

 

[sam fisher]

quite high that it won't.

quite high that it won't.

Really? Oh damn. I'll never be able to get a Blu that does it....I might have to go Blu+

GBAX did modded GP32s which overclocked to 180, so check them out. they cost a little more, but it's bound to be worth it!

Er, AFAIK, a BLU+ has *exactly* the same same chance of clocking to 166mhz as the old BLU. It's the same machine, apart from the LCD. "BLU+" is just a name the scene made up to differentiate the newer units with different LCDs.

As to your original question, I've heard "stats" of 40-60% will go to 166mhz. Mine does.

EDIT TO ADD: even if it won't reach 166, it's very likely it can hit 150-156mhz, which is plenty fast for most things people run.

If you end up with a BLU that won't go to 166, there's no reason that you can't get it modded so that it does.

my blu (not +) goes up to 166mhz

They are not the same. The Blu+ has the worst overclocking ability of them all, so bad infact that we are considering only offering 160mhz soon.

The best overclocking ability is the original GP32 Non lit unit, its not uncommon for those to get into the 200mhz. With the new BLU+ I don't think i've seen one which can go above 166mhz and be stable.

Forgive me, but I thought one of the selling points of the BLU besides the back lit screen was the fact that it was a 166 mhz unit, was I wrong?

Anyway, my GP32 Blu (not +) can do it.

Oh wait, that means my nonlit is actually bad, it only goes up to 156

133mhz, actually. GBAX test the units, to determine which actually go to 166, and then sell them as 166 quaranteed.

My blu+ does 156 but locks up at 166.
It's only a what, 6% difference? 200 would be nice...

 

[aapje89]

There are even people with flu's who can oc to 225 mhz!

All these high numbers make me sad...
