Hi

I want to know whether overclocking the fsb on an amd solution affects the harddisk, if yes why.
also the PCI ?

Plz help
 
yes overclocking the pci bus too far outta spec can cause harddrive corruption over time, it does so because of random errors that generate from an unstable overclocked system, however most harddrives can handle at least 36-38mhz just fine, pushing over that however has always netted me harddrive corruption.
 
Yes it does.

I have a Western Digital Cavier HD that cant handle 35MHz (140/4).
If you try to use 140 MHz FSB the partition table corrupts and you get a blue screen every time ntfs.sys accesses the hard drive from that point on. (Including using the W2K boot CD)

The only way to make the HD usable again is to delete all the partitions.

Very annoying
