Overclocking with a Raptor

[Pixle]

Does overclocking by raising the fsb work? Ive heard somewhere that you cant overclock with a sata hdd?

 

[MustISO]

Some SATA ports are not locked, don't use those if you want to overclock. On my motherboard 2 are locked and two are not.

How can you tell if their locked? Does the asus p5w dh deluxe manual tell you (locked) (unlocked) or is their a name for it?

Anyone else had problems with overclocking on a sata hdd?

I don't think that the drive is saturating the SATA connection. The bottleneck is not in the link, but in the actual speed of the hard drive.

 

[Talcite]

Zirconium is right. There's no need. You could definitely try it you want though. I doubt it'll work.

I would love to hear someone post their experience overclocking a 10,000 rpm Raptor to 15,000rpm.
