just raised the fsb of my cpu but then, my ram, usually at 800mhz has been raised up to 840mhz, will this cause any problems? the lowest ratio setting is 1:2, running a q9550 on a foxconn digital life ela with 4gb ddr2

It won't cause any problems if the RAM can take the overclock.

Run a few tests, or play a couple of games, and you'll soon find out if it's happy.

The only way to find out is to try it.

Overclocking can involve a lot of trial and error.

Should be ok that.

Buy some faster ram then clock the chip more.
