Should I worry about my motherboard when overclocking?

I've been overclocking my laptop (signature) for 6+ months with pretty much no problems. Temps on the CPU are good as I undervolt (1.075v to 0.925v) and use a cooling pad (around 58-61 max). The Turion X2 TL-56 runs DDR-667 at 300mhz (real), so when I overclock from 1.8ghz to 2ghz, the RAM is back upto 333mhz (so I'm not overclocking the RAM). It's all very stable and from the readings I get, the CPU's running cooler than stock voltage at 1.8ghz (about 60-64 max).

But sometimes I worry if increasing the FSB on the motherboard from 200mhz to 222mhz is going to be creating much more heat other areas, as I can't monitor the motherboard temps. Is a 22mhz increase in the FSB putting much extra strain on the motherboard? Do laptop motherboards cope very well with overclocking in the long term?

Thanks.

 

usually anything between 5 and 10% overclocking is considered to be a safe overclock.

What software did you use for the overclock?

 

Well, a 22mhz overclock (in the FSB) is an 11% increase...

I use Clockgen v1.0.5.3 (PLL: ICS 951462). The only problem I've had is occasionally the Windows Software clock would lose 1/2 minutes after a typical gaming session, but disabling the Windows Time service helped as it stopped Windows updating the hardware clock on the motherboard (which keeps time fine) so after restarting the time is correct again.

 

the 5-10% I referred to is in general, but if you did your home work and know the limite of your hardware you can reach %60 - %70 like with the intel E2160

 

you are fine, don't worry

it's not like mine that runs 50+% overclocked on the video card, lol
