    Can someone post the overclocking thread for the TZ. I know I saw one a while back. For whatever reason, my search function is not working. Using the simple terms "overclock" or "overclocking" yields nothing. It's not just that though, my search function could not even find the "semi-clean" thread. :confused:

    Anyway, I already paged through +30 pages trying to find that thread, so I have tried.

    Thanks,

    Much appreciated! :)

    Funny, as if not indexed on my machine, when I do a title search, it will find my post, but on the other one :confused:

    Thanks again!

    Dang it, we really need a Sony moderator here to sticky some useful threads, like the TZ overclocking thread! :( :(

    I did tinker with setfsb but wouldn't recommend leaving it over extended periods because the pci value can't be set and that is no good.

    I think the best overclock for an SZ would be to somehow instal XP on it.
