Overclocking ACA 1232 EC030 40Mhz to 50Mhz

Hi, I have an ACA 1232 with a MC68EC030RP40 clocked at 40 Mhz (R2+R4 in).

Is it possible to overclock at 50Mhz by giving a x5 multiplier?
It's not mentioned on the back of the card but the combination should be R1+R4 in.

I was wondering if anyone had ever tried and if it could work

Hello, did you solder these resistors ?
I have this card in 33Mhz version (R1 in) and want to overclok it to 40Mhz. So I must buy one SMD resistor. I don't know what are the resistors values.

This is usually a jumper and not a resistor. You'll see them on boards like SMD resistors, black, with a value of 0 (zero).

Not sure if this is the case with the ACA you mention, but maybe look at some photos of peoples cards to double check.

EDIT: I cannot find a picture that isn't clear enough to show a jumper vs a resistor, so please do not attempt a mere jumper without double checking.

Memory can be limit here. AFAIK version 50MHz and faster has loosen memory timings to handle higher clock.

Thank you for your answer. I ended up not trying any overclocking since i didn't get many answers to my initial question.

I think I'll leave it to someone braver than me

Thank you for answering me, I already found, that the jumper not resistor is installed on the board, even though they look the same.
