Hello everyone, I'm trying to overclock my i3 540 with my Intel dh55pj motherboard. It doesn't let me adjust the CPU multiplier, but I can change the host clock frequency (probably called Fsb). Its default is 133 MHz. If I raise it, the RAM speed also changes. I'm worried about possible damage to my HDD and RAM. I've seen some discussions suggesting that increasing the FSB clock can also affect SATA and PCIe speeds.

This was the usual setup before the Sandy Bridge construction. It wasn't until after that that connections like SATA and PCIe were added. You're all set.
