How far you got your 1.4 266 Athlon?

Just asking to get an idea of how far I should push my new one when it arrives.

I have an Abit KG7 (non RAID), 1 sitck of Corsair 256mb DDR 2100 2.5CAS, And also getting an Alpha 8045 with 80mm Sunon fan.

I'd like to know to what speed I should aim with the new CPU, and what FSB/Multiplier.

Is 160Mhz/9.5 reasonable? I know I should test and find good results for myself, but before I do, I'd like to know what you guys managed to get, before I push my CPU too far.

Thank you,
Animal

(please post FSB/Multiplier)
 
Athlon 1.4 using ECS K7AMA non-overclockable montherboard: 1542Mhz using 146 FSB.

Max full load temp : 47 degrees

The ECS board does not allow FSB any higher than this 🙁
 
1575 using 150 fsb on k7s5a. locks up on 166 fsb. max load temp 52 degress with standard hsf.
