Overclocking with ABIT...

[BrotherCC]

I have an ABIT SA6R and am going to attempt to overclock to 160mhz. With a ratio of 4:4:1(CPU:SDRAM: PCI) my PCI bus will hit 40mhz. Does anyone know if this will be a big issue considering its rated for 33mhz? Thanks in advance.

Man it doesn't take long to get buried here.

I know its possible to overclock your PCI bus over the rated speed, but that doesn't mean that it'll work. I've seen systems where that's been achieved, and then I've also seen systems where it wouldn't go over 33Mhz at all. Depends on the board, on the PCI cards, on a whole set of things. You'll just have to try it and see.
