Overclocking - 10% and 20% on same console?

[iron_chief]

I was going to buy a few items from Dragoncity and thought maybe I would try their 20% overclock kit.

Question is, I already have a console with the 10% overclock, so could I add the 20% in addition? Would the baseline then be the 10%, and the switch would increase it to 20%?

That is pretty much uncharted waters. You would conceivably be the first to attempt this since the 10% overclock mod is so new. I wonder if it would give a 30% overclock lol combining both mods? Because since you already have the base clock changed 10% I think it is gonna combine the 2 clock speeds so you may have the first 30% overclock?

yep

I have a question..If I moded my dreamcast to 10% or 20% overclock,then Do I have to replace original fan with Noctua Fan,and replace with thicker thermal pad on the CPU and GPU chipset?

Sorry for my ignorance. Is it possible to overclock the powervr gpu?

So I think I'll try the 20% OC kit then. I have around a dozen DCs so am willing to risk one.

I ran the 10% OC for a time, while otherwise completely stock. I saw no difference in heat, at least superficially. But I would say it's unsustainable. I now have the noctura and the only heat seems to come from the PSU. But really the noctura is such a great upgrade I would do it even without OC.

And, not to sound like a shill, but Dragoncity's fan controller seems like a good alternative. Also the only option for a VA0. Shipping to USA kinda kills it though. I can also highly recommend Laser Bear. I usually go for their "blemished" items. Which honestly always looked perfect to me.

i had familyguy do the mod for me back in 2009.
that was when we had epic battles with the schthack pso folks.
