JLMS XJHD166S---- Died cuz of OC'ing??

[jeeka]

Like most of you out there I have been overclocking my CPU. Most of the time I lock the AGP and PCI Frequencies to there defaults in the BIOS. But not all the time. Could it be that my drive died because of the times i did OC the AGP/PCI Clocks to 72/36???? Maybe the electronics don't like to be out of range?

You guys tell me.

Asus P4T533, 3.06@3.52, stock vCore, Air, 4x enabled......

Possible?

you shouldn't think its your computer, mine crapped out on me too, after about 4 months of use

[jeeka]

What drive did you end up replacing it with? I need a good one capable of ripping at 16X and reading my 8X DVD+-R's QUICKLY and reliably...


I heard the newest Toshibas and Plextors are good (or at least their rebadged ones.)

i went back to my old Pioneer 106S, the new ones out are the Pioneer 120 and 120S

the S means slot loading, which i love

Ive had my 166s for over a year now, and Ive been overclocking via fsb and it hasent crapped out yet.

well touching your FSB or any other part in your computer, shouldn't have anything to do with your dvd-rom

actually, if your fsb is out of whack, you pci,ide,agp,etc and everything is out of whack.

unless your mobo has the ability to lock the PCI and AGP buses.
