Do TV cards overclock well/much at all?

I pushed a 1.1 CuMine from 100FSB to 110FSB and thought all was well, windows runs fine for days, etc, except for the Hauppauge 401? FM Tv card which seems to run for 20 minutes or so and then the little TV screen goes dark. I close the TV software and restart it... goes for another 5 minutes, then black. All signs point to TV card which doesn't like the 37MHz bus, but any other thoughts?

Only reason I'm hesitant and asking for advice is because the TUSL2 mobo won't let me adjust the PCI bus like I want... Next best thing I could do would be to set it to 133:33:33... any real danger in that (other than having to open up the case and play with cmos jumpers perhaps?
 
If you have the option of running your PCI bus in spec, I would suggest you do it. However, I'm running a 148MHz FSB and have the same exact TV tuner card. No problems here.

Why?Do you want to watch a tv program 30min before your neighbor sees it?😀
 
Are you running Win2k?

I have a Hauppauge Cheapo tv tuner card (the bottom of the line), and I've experienced the same problem: black screen, when left unattended. I've found that it only happens in Win2k though. Nothing overclocked, here.

My theory? Cheap tv tuner!
 
My friend has the Hauppague WinTV-Go! and he was experiencing some weird stuff under Win2k. Moving his card to another PCI slot seem to fix the problem.
 
The thing is... card runs fine with usual fsb. Only thing I've noticed is that if you do something seriously wrong to crash one of it's programs (I've done it a few times) you have to restart the computer because it leaves some device open or something... don't exactly remember the error message. I feel ballsy tonight, I'll try the 133:33:33... worst case is it won't post.



Nope, wouldn't post and went into failsafe mode. Oh well.
