Im sure i have applied and stored the config: base frequency@300mhz, cpu@150mhz, ahb@150mhz... but everything, including the speed, seems normal, just like i never overclock it... What happened? Or maybe i should read the readme of nover more carefully?

What programs have you tried after overclocking?

I ran Pokemon Gold and tried to open NC and the catalog... nothing changed.

Well first of all, setting your AHB frequency to 150 is (for what I understood) EXTREMELY dangerous  :o. It is recommended you do not deviate from the standard of 66, 70 tops. Overclocking the AHB can lead to file system corruption or even permanently brick you calc.
Second, weird that nothing changed. Are you sure Pokemon Gold didn't run faster than before you overclocked?

Wrong - that's only on CX.

On a ClickPad/TouchPad, you can set base/CPU/AHB to the maximum without any problem.
nCaster was doing this.

Oh, I did not know that, thanks for pointing that out. Do we have any idea why?

Probably the CX is built with cheaper material.

^This. Also now that I think about it, doesn't the calc reboot and crash at 300 MHz? Or is it only the CX?

My CX was able to handle the max Nover allowed it to do.
