high fsb killing pci/agp cards?

[onewecallgod]

could high fsbs kill cards? im asking this because yesterday my tv tuner stopped working correctly

yes it can happen. but i would expect a hard disk to crupt before a card was killed by the pci clock.
what was the pci clock at the time (how high was the fsb and what divider does the board suport?)

 

[onewecallgod]

34mhz and the divider is 1/6 and i was running 13*175

First 34MHz shouldn't bother it and second what board do you have to have a working 1/6 divider. Also if your running at 175FSB with a 1/6 divider you PCI would be running at 29.16MHz but if your mistaken about your divider and are running it at 1/5 your PCI would only be 35MHz.

I think you mean a 1/5 divider. What board do you have?

lol yeah i do mean 1/5
im running kx400-8x

Like I said a PCI speed of 34 or 35 really isn't that bad but try not to go above 36.

my board doesnt have adjustable dividers

They automatically adjust once it reaches a particular fsb. Mainly 133 and 166 fsb for 1/4 and 1/5 divisor
