Increase FSB and decrease mutliplier?

[CwStrife]

For some reason when I raise the FSB up to above 270MHz the hard drive won't work correctly. But I can put it to 300MHz and it will run fine at 2.8GHz. I guess something to do with the PCI-Clock?

Anyways, the multiplier on my 3000+ Venice is 9x. If I put it down to like 8x and keep the FSB at 300MHz will I be ok. I don't want to destroy the memory controller or anything by chance. My biggest worry is damaging something by the FSB being 100MHz above normal.

Thx!

Nope as long as the chipset isn't burning up, you should be fine.

Ok, well how well does the Nforce4 chipset handle this? Remember the FSB is at 300, well above the standard 200mhz.

What do you guys think?

Wusy if you tell me what stock numbers are for this system I will give you an estimation of where that PCIe frequency would be floating on an ASUS or an ABIT. It will probably be the correct range for this board also. Keep in mind i dont know what the stock numbers are for AMD.
