Well, if you system is stable when running Prime or Orthos for all cores, and another application like winamp so that the CPU load to be for real full, you will get no file corruption.
Higher FSB means higher temperatures, so you will need better cooling, otherwise it's a risk to burn some components, especialy the CPU.
