You technically overclock any computer with various softwares found on the internet changing the CPU voltage and such. Whether you should do it is entirely another thing. Macs tend to have poor cooling and overclocking would only cripple system stability and reduce the lifespan of your CPU as it would thermal throttle constantly. A beefy CPU cooler: Overclocking, by its very nature, makes your CPU run quite hot. If you're using the Intel cooler that came with your processor, you probably shouldn't overclock—at the very.
Many Mac models can be 'chipped' to run at a higher speed, but none of the compact Macs can. That said, some can be upgraded with third-party accelerators, so you're not necessarily stuck with the original CPU speed – although finding those upgrades nowadays may be difficult. Sketch figma.

Mac 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plus, SE, and Classic
How To Overclock Cpu
The design of the 8 MHz (actually 7.8336 MHz) black-and-white compact Macs is very efficient – everything seems to be tied to the same oscillator. Because video is mapped from system memory, chipping any of these models will totally mess up video, among other things. We recommend against chipping any of these models. If you want more speed, look into faster compact Macs or accelerators; don't chip.
- The 128K, 512K, and 512Ke can be upgraded with a Mac Plus logic board, which permits memory upgrades, has a built-in SCSI bus, and allows further CPU upgrades.
- The Mac Plus has several upgrade options, including the 16 MHz 68000-based Brainstorm upgrade that more than doubles performance (we have one of these in a Mac Plus as Low End Mac headquarters). Others, ranging up to a 33 MHz 68030, are listed on the Mac Plus profile page.
- The Mac SE has a processor direct slot (PDS) that makes CPU upgrades easy. As with the Plus, accelerators up to a 33 MHz 68030 have been made and are listed on the Mac SE profile page. You can also swap in an SE/30 logic board.
- There are also some accelerators for the Mac Classic, including one 50 MHz 68030-based one. See the Mac Classic profile page for a list. Another option is to install a Classic II logic board.
Mac SE/30 and Classic II (Performa 200)
The design of these 16 MHz black-and-white compact Macs is very efficient. As with the 8 MHz models, everything seems to be tied to the same oscillator. Because video is mapped from system memory, chipping any of these models will totally mess up video, among other things. We recommend against chipping any of these models.
If you want more speed for your SE/30, look into accelerators; don't chip.
- The Mac SE/30 has a 68030 processor direct slot (PDS) makes upgrades easy, and the fastest include a 50 MHz 68030 and a 33 MHz 68040. More information on the SE/30 profile page.
- There are no known upgrades for the Classic II.
Color Classic (Performa 250)
It is not possible to overclock the Color Classic. Upgrade options include swapping in a Colour Classic II or LC 550 logic board, as well as a range of 68030- and 68040-based third-party upgrades, as noted on the Color Classic profile page.
Colour Classic II (Performa 275)
Overclocking the Colour Classic II CPU is not possible. Sonnet made the 25 MHz Presto 040 LC for the LC processor direct slot (PDS), as well as the 33 MHz Presto Plus, which also adds ethernet and 32 MB more system memory.

One of the most common complaints computer owners have is that their computer is too slow. Unless you own a shiny new G4, you have probably had this complaint in one form or another throughout daily use of your computer.
Most people know of all of the RAM upgrades and daughter cards, etc., that you can add inside your computer to speed it up a little – or a lot. But all these upgrades cost enough money to make even Bill Gates sick, so what is the person with a slow computer and not a lot of cash supposed to do?
Today I'll tell you a about an almost free and rather easy option if you fit into this group – overclocking.
Overclocking is literally setting your processor, whether it is 45 MHz or 900 MHz, to a higher clock speed. Many Macs (as well as other computers) are able to be overclocked. However, some are easier to overclock than others – we'll get to that later.
Basically, overclocking works by forcing the processor to use more power and operate at a higher frequency (or 'clock setting') thus the term, 'overclocking.'
This seems good, but since the whole world isn't overclocking, there has to be some risk involved – and there is. Since overclocking makes a processor designed to operate at 350 MHz, for example, run at 450 MHz, more power is consumed, and much more heat is generated. Many times people will need to add an additional fan or heat sink (the metal thingy usually sticking up inside your computer, on top of your processor) inside the computer. If the computer overheats, it will not function.

However, under most conditions, as long as you keep the overclocking to under a 15% boost, you won't need to change anything else inside your computer. In some other cases, stability becomes a problem, but as long as you keep the boost low, you won't have to worry about that either.
Now that I've probably bored you with this large introduction and warnings of great destruction of your computer, here's the good part.

How Do You Overclock?
Overclocking can be done relatively easily in many computers (in fact, the Blue & White G3 actually has a box right next to the processor to adjust the processor settings). Tosca opera. However, some computers aren't adjusted as easily. All models are different, and some cannot be overclocked at all.
By now you've probably realized that overclocking isn't for everyone, but if you've decided it's for you, now it's time to open it up and see what you can do!
Two great places to start are Accelerate Your Mac! and Bare Feats, not to mention Low End Mac's Chipping the Mac index.
