overclocking FSB affects AGP cards?

[subzero813]

i have my FSB up to 210MHz, in order to overclock my XP 3200+ Barton from 2.2GHz to 2.31GHz... the ram is PC3200.

the system has been stable, cpu temp at 47-49 C usually. with my Radeon 9700 Pro i had no problems in games.

i lost that card due to the VGA Silencer not fitting, but i put in a GF3 Ti200 64mb 4X AGP card...it works great. but playing Quake III Arena (a game this card should have no problems with), i experienced *some* artifacts, like the sky flickering, and other small things after an hour or two.

is the AGP bus being affected and making the card heat up or something? any way to turn it down to compensate?

look in your bios and see if there is an option called AGP/PCI lock, or just AGP lock, if there is, lock the agp to 67 mhz, and the pci to 33 or 34, that'll keep everything stable

You need to have an AGP/PCI lock to overclock effectively.
