Overclocking Lite-On CD-RWs?

I read somewhere that older versions of Lite-On CD-RWs can actually be "overclocked" to higher speeds.
For example a 42x Lite-On could do 52X with "special" firmware!

Does anyone know where to get that firmware?
I got a 52x/24x/52X with latest OFFICIAL firmware!

Well since 52x is the highest speed media you can buy it wouldn't do you any good. Look here for firmware info.

seaneyb2003 is an unknown quantity at this point
No

I wouldnt advise doing this as in the long term it heats the drive up and can blow up or maybe just not work if your drives 42x thats fast i got a 32x cdrw and it takes 4 minutes to burn 700 mb thats fast.
