Changing Duron (9.5 x100) to (7.5 x 133) using L4, L6 bridges

I have a retail Duron 950 and ECS K7S5A with 256 mb (pc2100) combo. Apparently the SIS 735 chipset doesn't perform
well when running asynchronously (100 FSB) and (133 mem).

My plan is to change the (9.5 x 100) 950 Duron to (7.5 x 133) 997 mhz to run the FSB synchronously with my mem 133:133

My question is: will this change, increase the cpu temperature by any substancial degree? The mhz value (997 compared
to 950) really isn't changing so my hope was that it would not affect temps severely.

(my cpu temp is 39C according to the monitor settings in my bios)

If it does increase temperatures substancially; will the retail/stock HSF, that comes with the Duron 950, be good enough
to cool it. I do not want to upgrade the HSF.

Here is a smilar thread of someone changing the 900 (9 x 100) to (7 x 133) 950 for similar reasons, but no mention of the
temps or cooling

No mention of temps or cooling cause a 50mhz oc on a duron is a non issue when it comes to heat. Don't worry about it.
