64 overclocking with k8t800

[benthepenguin]

so im about to overclock my athlon 64 3000+(prolly newcastle, ill see when mobo comes) mobo is asus k8v g/d(via k8t800) and memory 1gb takeMS ddr 400(k8t800 and lame memory, yea i know) if i just go to bios and raise fsb to 220 ill have 3200+. is default multiplier 10? but does higher pci and agp clocks harm my 9800 pro and wintv go 2?

Yea you can corrupt your Data on the HD's, video may lock up in games, etc...

I have the same chipset and run my FSB at 209. That only raises the PCI/AGP bus by 1Mhz. 220, is probable to high to be 100% stable. My system is 100% stable so I get 2.3Ghz instead of 2.2.

It can screw stuff up if you go too high but if you stay under under 220htt or so depending on if you use a divider it should be "OK"

220 is do able. I have my chaintech sk8t800 up to 223 FSB and I've never had any HD corruption. Its been running that speed for about a month now. Give it a try as long as you're ok with the tought of reinstalling windows. I'd run prime95 and some other benchmark progrmas for at least 24 hrs straight, just to make sure you're stable though.

I got greedy and tried mine at 233 FSb but that's pretty much a gauranteed blue screen of death.
