yes i finaly got may hdd its a maxtor 40 gig. I got it at staples. I have a question. Is this hdd good for o/c. On my old hdd i was running83mhz fsb 1/2. Can this one go with 41mhz pci?

[Mr. Chambers]

hard drives can usually take oc's farily well, although i never oc a system anymore without VERY good airflow by the harddrive, or just at least a seperate cooler on it.. just for safeties sake. if it doesnt take the high fsb speeds well, take it back, they have a nice 14 day return policy there, i would know, they pay my checks :) lol

I have the same HD as you, it will overclock pretty good, but my WD was able to overclock a lot better..

I have the 20 gig version of your hardrive and I am running at 10*160, not sure what my pci bus is right now but I am betting that it is pretty high, no hd corruption or anything.

Help!!!! i have a western digital 20 gig hd 7200 rpm. is in a xp1800@1.736 ghz fsb at 151 it runs stable at this but once i push the fsb up anymore it does a disk check on winxp startup and starts correcting files and repairing lost chains or something, but still boots xp. Once i get the fsb to 160 i get a file sys error and cant boot xp. i can post at 165 and temps r always below 32 deg c ona custom water cool setup.

Is this a HD problem that cant take the high fsb or wat? pls recommend fixes or best solution to the problem. keep in mind i want to push as high as i can go.

my celly wont go over 84mhz fsb, i swithed the hdd from a 4 to 40 gig. So, for me i dont think that its a hdd problem. It might be your chip maybe thats its limit. But there could be other resons but thats what i think.

:confused: hmmmm well the sitituation is that up to 151mhz it runs fine not problems wats so ever.

152-160 mhz when i boot win xp i does a disk check and starts correcting file chains. but still boots.

160+ i can post and when it trys to boot xp it does the disk check again but this time fails to boot and gives and file sys error on a blue screen. once this happens even when i reset bois i cant boot due to corrupted sys files.

Anyone out there having this problem??

could it be ide cables or high fsb incompatibility with the western digital hd??

[POL-tec2002]

well with me its when i put the fsb from 84 to 85 it doesnt boot at all. So i dont know what your problem is.
