Question about overclocking

Will the life of my computer shorten if I raise the fsb too high while overclocking. Like 7.5x148? And is my voltage at 1.89v killing my processor?

only thing that really can kill your PC is the voltage...

the FSB can be o/c to kingdom come but eventually it wont post or crash in windows... that's when you set it down the the most stable FSB adn then raise the Voltage up a notch.. and start all over again seeing how far it will go at SAID voltage without locking/crashing/not posting... the current from the voltage is what makes the chip hot *correct me if im wrong*

so basicly if you jack up the voltage then you can possibly fry the cpu without adequate cooling

FSB will kill the RAM...but shouldnt hurt the CPU, unless you put way to much voltage to it...which makes heat, the only thing bad for CPU components, and RAM is heat...might think about getting some RAM chip coolers if you are gonna try 148...that is if it posts...you need some top quality ram to do that.

just to be redundant i wanna put in on this...the fsb sets the speed of not only the cpu but the ram and all pci and agp devices...upping the fsb can put a lot of strain on your system, though i don't know how harmfull it is...i overclock my fsb from 100 to 104 and overclock my voodoo3 2000 from 120 to 140, so that card has been getting oc'd like crazy for about a year and it never complains...

A high FSB shortens the life of the whole computer. Just be sure your PCI cards, memory and hard disc can stand the overclock. I don't worry about voltage as long as my temperature stays under 50ºC. I currently run my 1.6v Duron processor @2.20v with no problems.

if you can.. try sticking to 100mhz/133mhz etc speeds with the appropriate divider.

Depending on your hardware the bus overclocks are not peripheral friendly. Some hard drives will get corrupted data, lose it's master boot record, windows registry can get corrupted, more chances for system locks since it's not JUST the cpu being overclocked.

With everything running within spec any instability can easily be traced to heat or insufficient voltage to the processor.

benchmark your system at max processor speed with standard bus/fsb speeds then add those tiny increments and see if the added risk is worth the speed increase. Some odd fsb speeds can actually UNDERCLOCK the agi/pci bus because of the divider etc.. I think some speeds are like 95mhz fsb or whatever is equivalent past 100/133. (124, 150 fsb?).

I think these underclocks is actually what allows some people to get those crazy high fsb's. If you're CPU/ram can handle the speed with your peripherals/bus speeds underclocked then it might be worthwhile. Not sure what the effect is on the peripherals at lower pci/agp speeds other than slightly slower data transfer across the bus. Then again you gotta ask yourself if having some components run sub spec while you squeeze every last bit out of other components is worth it.. what is the performance tradeoff and risk to the parts running over spec?

I use a measly celeron 600@900mhz.. I can boot up at 103fsb(reads at 933mhz) but the speed increase was tiny. I could probably do 112 fsb if I had better cooling/voltage but I can run it at 900mhz using default voltage/standard heatsink cooler and I'm not straining any other part of my system. The one time I did try 112fsb my registry got corrupted
