Hardware newbie questions re: K7T 266 Pro 2 mb.

[algae]

Hi all,
After reading a post below I see now why my Athlon 1600+ CPU was showing up at 1050 Mhz. I have now set the FSB to 133 mhz. Will there be a performance boost? Will it run hotter?

Also, is anyone using Motherboard Monitor? If so which temps do you set with this mb?

Enquiring minds want to know)

The CPU will run hotter, but there will be a definite performance boost.

it will run hotter but not much since its running at the desgned speed
there will definitly be a performance boost.

Temps are not the issue since you would be using the cpu at the proper FSB. Then again, maybe I should say they won't be as long as you are using a heatsink, and a fan, which of course you are, right? My cpu currently reads a temp of 37c with motherboard monitor, and the Thermalright SK6 heatsink.

Using the the stock HS/fan my case temp is 40C and the CPU temp is 48C.

Your temps are certainly within AMD specs, but you could do better. I was running Seti when I posted my temps, so my CPU was running close to %100. At idle I'm running temps of 30c for the motherboard, and 35c for the CPU. This is with a room temp of 23c.

Hmm...thx. The Thermalright SK6 is the best choice yout think?
