What to look for when OCing...

[Garfield]

When you OC a computer, I understand that you have to monitor things like temperature and ports being in "spec". But, what exactly do you have to keep track of? RAM? Video card? Sound card? CPU (of course). What if when I build this computer and OC it, I "forget" about a port/component and that fries because I went to out of spec with it when raising the FSB?

Could somebody post a list with the components and/or ports that needed to be watched when OCing? Thanks!

It will be hard to list every thing.

I'll say mostly what u know and trial&error.
one thing when you overclock FSB you actually over clock all your PCI, AGP and other device on the computer.
not just the CPU.

I'm not going to try to list every thing.

Good luck.

chance are u wont fry the parts by running them out of spec. Probably what will happen is the comp willl not boot then u can go and ajust accordinly
