I am about to turn up the FSB on my motherboard. I have been reading how overclocking the fsb will affect everything. Such as the pci. NOw will overclocking hurt my AGP vid card. I don't want my 300 dollar card to have a potential of being ruined. Same as my sound card. I could care a less of my nic.
I was thinking of turning the bus speed up to 110 or 112. 110 to be safe but 112 would be good to just hit a little over 1ghz.
System:
Amd 900mhz
Asus k7v
512 ram
gforce 3ti500
cpu has a muliplier of 9 running at 100fsb. cpu core voltage is currently at 1.6 but i will have to turn that up.
Check out the thread by IIB. There's an explaination there. If you're FSB is usually 100MHz and you can't change the divider on your AGP or PCI settings, then their settings will rise proportionately with the FSB.
If FSB = 100MHz, AGP = 66MHz, PCI = 33MHz.
Then if FSB = 110MHz, AGP = 73.33MHz, PCI = 36.67MHz.
Or if FSB = 112MHz, AGP = 74.66MHz, PCI = 37.33MHz.
Depending on the quality of your AGP and PCI devices, you can run at this speed. Probably not a problem. Suck it and see.
