How high have you taken your MSI k7t-266 pro2?

Im getting heat problems above 152mhz. It helps to put a fan over the chipset but I am thinking about replacing the heatsink with an old vantec Pentium 1 heatsink. Will it be effective and help?

Interesting thought. Mine runs stable at 150 but I generally keep it at 145. I use an Alpha Alpha 6035 heatsink with a Thermaltake 6025A-2B 60mm fan.

I'd also like to know if there is any thermal compound under the stock heatsink because that could be all that I have to do instead of changing out heatsinks
