Hi
Does my CPU become hotter when changing the multiplier or just when changing the FSB setting??? Thanx

The amount of heat dissipated by your CPU is a function of its overall speed (mult * fsb) and the voltages you run it at. So, upping either the multiplier or fsb will increase the temp, somewhat.

Just thought I'd add to what Hoot said: by just changing the multiplier and keeping the same speed you will NOT increase your temps. For example, your CPU will run at the same temperature at 1 GHz, regardless of whether you are running at 10*100 or 7.5*133.
