Duron 600 to 900 Stable---Want to hit 1G+---Need advice

[charliealpha]

I've got a Duron 600/1.85 KT7 running @ 900 rock stable. Anything over a 9x Multiplier freezes up real quick. The temps I've got right now are:

Sandra -24C (obviously wrong)
Bios-43C
CPU Cool-45.4

Here's my system:
KT7
Heatsink-Thermaltake TFCF011-1
Slot Fan (Fits in PCI bay)
1 Front Case Fan
1 Rear Case Fan (Antec 80 MM 4 pin)

Basically, I'm considering:
A Case Mod for a larger Fan up front
A different Heat Sink
KT7 Voltage Mod

but I really don't know which way to go. I need guidance and advice.

I Also have a Duron 600, but just recently o/c ~> 1000ghz.....I was using a Global Win FOP32 before, and the highest i could go with that was 800mhz..After slapping on my new GlobalWin FOP-38, i easly hit 1Ghz, and my temp open cased is about 37-38C on average.....after playing quake3 for about an hour, my temp will jump up to 40 - 43 C, but then quickly jumps back down to 37 afterwards

Put a Pep66 on & Temp went down to 42C under load. Highest I've been able to get is 987 MHZ, but running @ 950Stable.

I'm adding a 90MM Fan up front this week. I'll put another post here for posterity if I get up to 1GHZ.

I can't do a Ghz - but on the 133a chipset - performance is so good that 900 at 6 x 150 is better than 10 x 100!!!!

BTW---

I've heard and read both---- that you can put too much TC on, & that you need to get it is as thin as possible OR that you need to make it uniform, and MAKE sure it's CLEAN from foreigh particles to insure the proper SEAL.

Soooooo----which one is it?

Better yet----anyone got step by step directions for a dummy so he can put his on again in case he did it wrong?
