I'd like to see if my Asus P2B i440BX chipset based mobo can handle 133 FSB. In it, there's a Voodoo3 AGP video card, a couple of sticks of CL2 PC-133 SDRAM, and a Powerleap adapter with a Celeron 1.4 Ghz processor. If it set the mobo's jumpers to 133 (from 100), what components could get damaged?
Say if the mobo POSTs OK, and I can get to the DOS prompt, then run a game for a few minutes, then power off the PC. What harm could this do? Is the only problem extra heat? Or are there other components that could deteriorate, given the OC'd FSB? Could the capacitors be put under extra strain? When I say capacitors, I mean the ones on the mobo, and on the Powerleap adapter, and also on the video card! Would the PSU be put under any greater pressure? (I'm using a good one, and so there shouldn't be a problem providing the extra "juice".) Thanks for any info.
Edit: Also, the mobo's IDE ports have a compact flash disk for the HDD, and a DVD-ROM drive.
