When I run the same test positions again, I noticed that it gave me a 8K and run severals open tactical positions again and received the same NPS 8K. Finally, my HP 3970 is running stable and about 19% faster. The instruction on Pocket Hack Master give you the impression that my HP 3970 could be safely overclock to 500 Mhz, but for some reason it is not safe and too risky to run it that HOT.

The next generation Pocket >>PC was not going to be 20x faster than the previous. Something sounds _wrong_.
