I have my computer set at 9.5 x 110 fsb, and my ram is running at 146 mhz? if i'm correct, can't really recall right now, but my question is, since i've been reading around this site a bit, am i hurting anything else with the increased agp bus speed, or increased pci bus speed?

Here's my specs...

Duron 600 @ 1045 9.5 x 110 @ 1.775 with fop32
2 x 128 meg Kingston pc133 @ 146 cas3 (cheap @ss nanya chips)
Hercules geforce Ddr
Sound Blaster Live Value
Maxtor diamondmax plus 45 gig ata 100
Acer 8x4x32 8meg cache

I'm just curious if i should put my fsb back down? or not, i mean my system is stable so far as I can tell, running idle at 38C or so. Thanks.

Yes it is stable now, I've had this 600 at 1000 for a while now with just 10 x 100, but since i've been looking all over the board and noticing the increase in performance with changing the fsb, i decided to give it a try. It wasn't stable for a little bit today, but that was because i had the timing on the ram at fast, so i turned them down to medium and everything is fine now. But i'm not hurting my video card, or hard drive or anything? heh, any help is appreciated. Thank ya much.

Good going! You should be fine as long as all is stable. I have been running mine the last couple of days at 962MHz. Multiplier at 850, FSB at 112/37 + 1 = 113. The RAM at a sweet 150MHz. Host CLK + PCI CLK (137 + 13 = 150MHz CAS2 Turbo) With the components that you have, you are doing great. Run some games and programs, and if all is well, you got it! 🙂
 
Thanks technonut, but i've been reading that it's bad for hard drives to be run at a faster pci bus speed? Or maybe my video card? i just don't want these things dying a few months down the road, i mean a year down the road ok, but i'd like to keep em for a little bit, ya know what i mean? Heh.

Thanks, and has anyone had anything die on them from setting their bus speeds too high? thanks.

Balael, Yes is harder on your hardware. Some people dont seem to mind because its not much depending on your settings. Either way your taking a risk. But that comes with the game of O/Cing. 🙂

I have a P3-550@770MHZ@140FSB and its been running stable for 6 months.
I just put a Duron 600 @ 1GHZ running at 9.0 x 111FSB last week.

 
Thanks for the help, my system was running fine at 1045, but kept dumping when i tried to play a game, so i backed off and now i'm running 111 x 9, and it's running perfectly. Thanks for the help guys.

 
Nice system you have there. 111 bus is not too bad for anything on the pci bus(37 mhz pci) anything over 39 can become problematic.
 
anything over 39? alright, thank you. heh, learning everything all the time.
