Is my theory exact?

[pat]

I set the memory speed to 166, I left the HT to 4x and put the fsb to 233MHz.

My memory is DDR3200 twinx. So, if 166MHZ= 83% of 200, and that 83% of 233=200 MHZ, if I overclock my 3000+ 939 at 2.1 GHz (9x233) and that the HT is 4x and the memory is at 200.. Does that means that I shouldnt be affraid about data corruption at all, since the buses are not running overspecs, only the CPU is running faster?

Or, by having the FSB at 233, I am pushing the chipset too much and my data risk corruption on my HDD?

I'he heard a lot of theories about that, but none of them could really put some light on that!

Okay now, a little mistake in ur math there, 83% of 240 is 200, not 233. Right now you're underclocking your ram. You don't have to worry about your harddrive or your video card if you set AGP/PCI Freq to 66/33.

Apart from your math, your 'theory' is correct.

Your right about the maths, I mixed 2 tests. The 233 was to run the CPU at 2.1 GHz and the DDR200 was to check to not overclock the memory.

So i should not have a problem, even if I use the nforce HDD controller that is not on the PCI bus?
