Its odd, your 800 should do a gig easy, maybe you just got unlucky. I have noticed one glaring thing in these threads and that is the fact that many of you are running your voltage much higher than you should have to. This will most definatly result in higher temps.
for instance:
Duron 750@900 @ 1.725 volts
Duron 750@850 @ 1.70 volts
T-bird 850@1050 @ 1.75 volts
T-birt 850@1000 @ 1.725 volts
Those of you having problems reaching the promised land should first see what your Cpu is capable of by means of just playing with the voltage and multipier. When determining its limits, then proceed to play with FSB overclocking as well. This way you can tell if it is indeed your CPU, or something else like your memory timings causing your instabilities.
Another little known fact is that every megaherts increase if FSB does not always neccesarily translate to increased performance. For instance, a FSB of 105 maybe faster than a FSB of 106. This has to do with the increments of "33" and its second level harmonics. I had a link to a sight that explained this much better, and I will try to find it.
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing!<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by ncogneto on 05/20/01 11:39 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
