Will OCing the FSB to 133 cause data/computer errors?!?!?

Will Ocing the fsb to 133 cause any computer/data related errors? Since it is a "normal" FSB freq I wouldn't assume so. Does anybody have any useful links?

Thanks

The only time it would give data errors is if you notice instability due to your mobo not being able to overclock to this fsb. 133 is actually a good bus speed to achieve cause it lets you divide by 33 and keep the AGP and PCI buses correct at 66 and 33Mhz respectively.

The only time you start to really have errors is when you are running components out of spec. For example, running the PCI bus over 33MHz may result in errors. So, as long as your hardware is running at spec speeds there should not be any errors from overclocking.

Isn't this the third or forth time you have asked the same question, but in a slightly different way?

At least overclocking is unlikely to damage a computer like pouring water on it.

As long as you have a chipset with the correct dividers at 133MHz (as just about all of the current chipsets are), then the only item being overclocked is the CPU (as long as you have RAM that runs at 133MHz).
