Ram and CPU FSB allowances can bottleneck a system, what about the FSB speed rating of a chipset? My chipset is rated to handle either a 400Mhz or 533Mhz Northwood CPU and only 266Mhz ram. Right now I am running the FSB at 133 pushing the CPU to 2.4Ghz and my ram FSB to 354Mhz. My ram is rated to run at up to 433Mhz so I know the ram is cool, but what about the mother board? The 845E chipset says that it only accepts 266Mhz pipeline for the ram, could I damage the motherboard by running the ram at 354Mhz or higher? System is stable and temps are cool.
Any advice is appreciated, I have searched the net but haven't found any 845E setups with the ram pushed so high.
My Setup:
CPU - 1.8 P4 400Mhz Northwood
Ram - PC3500 DDR433 CL2.5 PNY 512x2
MoBo - Gigabyte 8IEXP 845E Chipset
