Just got a TBird 1.2 thats guaranteed to do 1.44 factory unlocked.. I have had success getting it to 1.3ghz, with vcore at 1.85v, and multiplier at 13. But when I set the multiplier to 14, my system wont boot.
I need some multiplier/fsb configurations to try and get to 1.4.
Thanks for any help you can give me. Sure want to see that 1.4mhz!

Update. Got it to 1404mhz (108x13 @1.85v) but the cpu got hot as hell!
Ive got a Vantec aluminum hs with a YS Tech 60mm fan (blowing instead of sucking) but the heat built up so damn fast I had to turn the thing off and reset to default for fear of frying it.
I used thermal paste, and I know the HSF is seated right.
Any suggestions?

did you try overclocking without vcore ajustments that should drop the temps a bit what are your temps by the way ? i have my 1.33 ghz on my K7T266 pro overclocked to 1496 multiplier set at 11 and FSB at 136 temps are around 115 - 120 full load nota big overclock but im still learning myself ! good luck

Hmmm...well the fsb will only accept 100-132. Not sure about the actual cpu temp when I had it at 13x108 @ 1.85v. But that damn HS was burning to the touch.
I tried knocking the vcore back down, but Diablo 2 would lock up in anything less than 1.85v if I was trying to overclock. Right now Ive got it running at 13x100 @1.85v...strange enough the HS doesnt seem to be as hot as it was at 13x108 @ 1.85v.
