GA-P35C-DS3R

First a little bit of info:

http://img503.imageshack.us/my.php [...] inggp4.jpg

im running it at 450mhz bus-speed 1800 mhz FSB.
doing 1:1 with my ram.

i adjusted setting on my board so it has 0.2V FSB and MCH overvoltage..

should be something like 1.4V on both of those it seems to run very stable..

with my E6600 at 7x450 = 3.15ghz v.core 1.35V in bios and 1.280V in cpu.Z

my ram is at 4-4-4-12 at 900 mhz 2.4V

they are rated to run at 4-4-4-12 (1066mhz) at 2.4V

Questions

Is the 450 mhz busspeed too much for my motherboard will i decrease its time of life ? its a (1333mhz rated board) and stock cooling solution.

Also should i maybe lower my voltage on the ram even though they are specified by manufacture to run at 2.4V Geil Ultra Series Cas 4 (PC-2-8500)

Answers:

Yes, the increased speed and voltage will decrease the life expectancy of your board, but generally not by a signifigant amount if you have good cooling. If you're an enthusiast you'll probably have a new MB/CPU/etc in 3 years time.

If you can lower any voltages and remain stable, that is a good thing. It will decrease heat and power consumption and stress on your components. Watch the stability though, your RAM might need all that voltage.
