I was looking through a forum on GameFAQs (yes, yes, I know) and came across a topic on overclocking the N64. Here were the links the user posted for reference:
Rudimentary site, but good info
A photo album of the mod process
Sounds dandy; I'll have to pick up one of those colored units and give it a shot. However, there were some things I was thinking about that might possibly make the mod better. I'll list them and then maybe you guys can assess whether or not it would make a difference or whether or not it's actually possible.
First of all, I would prefer (if possible) to add a switch that would allow the user to select between standard operation and overclocked operation. That way, you could always go back to the old crappiness to give the unit a break from the heat.
I guess the only other thing I could think of is possibly installing a PC heatsink/fan to help with the overheating problem. That way, you wouldn't have to worry about taking breaks to let the unit cool down and to prevent damage to the system.
Anyway, I thought I would share this with you guys and get your input. I for one would be pretty excited to play Perfect Dark at a constant framerate. Oh my God, I am going into a catatonic state just thinking about it...
