Overclocking the pci bus

[De Joker]

Is a pci bus frequency of 38 Mhz considered high, even if everything works fine. And can a higher than standard (33 Mhz) bus freq. damage the harddisk or other pci peripherals in the long run.

Yes, it would depend on the hardware but over 38Mhz for the PCI wouldn't be recommended...

As with many other OC matters, 10% is considered acceptable, 20% is aggressive.

I try to keep it under 40MHz.

BTW ~ This would have been a good Topic for the CPUs and Overclocking Forum.

I haven't "damaged" a PCI or IDE device by running the bus to fast, but I have noticed a marked increase in the occurances of corrupt data on my hard disk(s) beginning at 37-38Mhz and higher......

Thanks for the replys guys i guess i will keep my pci bus below 37 Mhz.

Is there a way to overclock the cpu bus without overclocking the pci/dimm bus. The overclocking option at bios allows to modify them all at once, not separately. (QDI Legend 7T, award bios).
