Well against what everyone said I had to see if I could hit 133 mhz or more out of this thing. Highest I was able to post at was 1133 and I was shocked at that since I put the bus to 138 I was expecting 1104 but it said 1133. Well I never even saw windows, so back I started on my PIII800e. Tried 133.Couldnt do it! Got into windows 2k sp2 and locked. So I tried 130 and like Emril says "BAM" I'm at 1040 running temps and volt 1.85 same as I was at 126 fsb. So I just ordered a new PS 350 watt duel fan A1.If that doesn't do it possible ram change (as I'm using generic cas 3) or just may call it quits and live with 1040.

Temps are at 23c/73f=cpu and 16c/60f+MB no load. Under full load(quake 3 loops and star trek) 45c/113f=cpu and 18c/64f Mb.

I found these chips can handle 45 deg. C but also they are more stable around 35 deg. C at load. I know if I drop the temp by 10 deg. C in my room I can hit higher than I can when load temps are at 42deg. C versus 32 deg. C.

Gotta admire some overclocker's determination to find the limits of their system. Congratulations But, like Ol' Man says, the lower you can get those load temps, the better your chances of success at the higher end. My general rule of thumb is to try to keep those coppermines below 40 degrees for overclocking. A little more burn-in might either allow you to lower the voltage or go a little higher too.

Good Job... Your cpu won't most likely post anything over that FSB because of the current temps right now as mentioned.
