What are the chances?

Of destroying the HDD,mobo,ram,video,ect by overclocking via FSB? I know its just according to how much I run the PCI/AGP/Ram out of spec but has anyone here ever killed a component knowing it was the FSB that did it?
 
I never killed a component totally to where it was unusable, but I have scrambled a hard drive or two when the PCI bus went too high. Since the IDE controllers run off the PCI bus, you can have trouble if you take that too high, I totally learned that one the hard way...LOL 😱

Thank goodness for my ASUS A7n8x mobo, it is AGP & PCI locked. FSB changes only affect the RAM and CPU, otherwise I might be overheating video cards and scrambling hard drives left and right...
 
i had some ram that started to show some instabilities, but only because i was running the voltage way over stock. other than that, i haven't ever had a problem.
