Is it possible to determine exactly how the overclocking of my FSB is effecting my peripheral cards. whether they are in danger of burning out or slowing down? i have win 98se and ami bios. if anyone knows the answer it would be greatly appreciated.
thanx

It is very hard to tell how you components are working on an OC'ed environment. The first things you will notice if you got to far will be artifacts, lockups, data corruption and unstable systems.
In case you didn't know: if you OC the FSB this will increase speeds of your memory and CPU. But OC'ing the FSB also increases the AGP bus speeds and the PCI bus... which effects all your cards and onboard peripherals.


My peltier is so powerful I get Bose-Einstein Condensate beneath it :eek: .
