Considering people from Thecus were part of ABIT ( Powered by ABIT), and ABIT was famous for overclocking it's motherboards. Is it possible that they leave some backdoor to overclock the N5200?  |

I'd be very intestered in seeing some results of CPU overclocking and a 512MB dimm memory upgrade.  |

I think you just got the luck of the draw.. I tried to overclock but the thecus just beeped over and over again - probably a BIOS setting... Regardless, during the self test it failed. Maybe earlier versions of the thecus had a processor that was a little more polite with o/cing...

Come on guys,
why do you want to risk the health of your NAS?
The expected gain will be about zero, because the critical parts are disk and network I/O and 200 MHz more will not help for this.
Just be warned that you could destroy your hardware by this....

You're right.. I'm very very happy that the thecus was smart enough to beep. Even though the BIOs beep was going off, I didn't hear a beep. I heard n5200 moan "you dip***t, don't mess with me." (pause) "You dip***t, don't mess with me." You know how the bug goes - if it's there then it's fun to push - until you lose your data  Besides, if it was easy to overclock, I'm sure the thecus company would've pushed it to 800 mhz anyway. |
