I have tried FSB b4, I can maximum tune it to only 116Mhz at FSB, so the speed should be abt 8*116=928Mhz with Vcore is 1.65V...the temp is abt 57-58'C after opening an hour, then I tried to make the multipler by, 10*100=1G with Vcore 1.7V, it can't open the computer, then I tried 9*100=900Mhz with Vcore 1.6V, the temp is about 53'C....i feel it's quite dangerous, so i use the normal once, so the last one is:
8*100Mhz=800Mhz
Vcore=1.6V
But the temp is still 53'C................I have no idea of this........I unlock the Duron by draw the L1 cache with Pencil, but I think there isn't anyproblem with the drawing....
I use the mainboard is Magic-Pro(MP-7VIP-DR), maybe you guys haven't heard of this before, but this mainboard have tested with other kind of mainboard like ASUS, etc.... It is the best one overall in overclocking, by wht the research said, it can perform stable for Duron 800 to run at around 1.2Ghz..........but me only 900Mhz............
I have used CPU cooler, it is thermaltake...maybe you guys dunno abt this banch.....but i hope you can give me some info wht my comp going on...

here i give all the details of my comp at normal speed:
CPU: AMD Duron 800MHz
Mainboard: Magic-Pro (MP-7VIP-DR)
Display Card: Magic-Pro GeForce 2MX 32Mb
Memory: 128Mb DDR Ram
This is the normal condition of my computer, the results temp is 53'C for airconditioning....

After Overclocking:
9*100=900Mhz
and others is the same, while temp is the same too, is 53'C...but seems there isn't an obvious change in the speed, so should i tune it down, or try to do some others things.??? I just wanna step down the temperature first.......later then overclocking, because i want stable now....!! Thanks!!

Well, if you got any kind of fan is good, please introduce them to me, pls!!^^

Hmm, assuming those temps are close (and that's they're from MBM) then they're pretty high for that speed. If you're not using thermal paste then get some... you can get some average stuff at Radio Shack, but Artic Silver is better (~$9 now?). Also, which heatsink are you using (you said Thermaltake, but they make a lot)? If you really want lower temps I'd suggest a new heatsink... a Glaciator perhaps ( http://www.millennium-thermal.com/ ), but it still won't help much without thermal paste.

Wow those temprature are abit on the warm side and would worry me a great deal. Im using a FOP-32 on a Duron 800 @ 1050 (7.5 x 140) and dont even get close to your temprature on load after playing Q3 and running setti in the background I still only hit 50 c
I did find it made a lot of difference when I moved the mobo to a full tower as the airflow around the CPU improved and dropped the temp by 2 c
