Well, I have unlocked my cpu with good results(I fixed the temp problem) and now I need some advice about where to start. I dont know wich FSB/multiplier combo I should start with. My mobo/prossesor are in my sig. I would greatly apreciate any assistance.

what kind/speed ram do you have? if you have decent ram i'd up the FSB as high as possible to see what you get.

if not try upping the multi and even lowering the FSB if necessary.

i got my best results upping the multi by .5 and pushing the FSB up 17mhz. (im not running that fast right now if you were checking my sig)

best way is to look at the sticker on the ram... or know what you bought.

course trying to get at the ram to read it would end up in you just taking the stick out. which isn't a big deal really just kind of a hassle.

or you can try sisoftware sandra, it can tell what brand ram i'm running. it might work for you.
