Should I up the ante?

[12am]

I'm currently overclocked at 1007w/155fsb and it has been totally stable with no data corruption... now I'm wondering if you guys think I'd be safe upping it to 160fsb/1.85vcore?? temps are within range?? any input?

LOL!!! I think your'e going to anyway. Try it at 1.8 first,
if it's no go, then try 1.85. Just keep an eye on temp.

Good luck!

My opinion... give it a go, see if the system'll do it. If it can do it stabily, then decide wether or not you want to keep it there on a long term basis.

well prime95 doesnt seem to take a liking to it but I did a few prelim gaming stress tests with various games and no lockups yet... the main thing I'm worried about it data corruption... the hd's arent getting very hot so should I be worried?? also once it happenes am I screwed from there on?

My Crucial cas 2 crapps out around that speed. As far as
data corruption, you can reinstall your OS
