New 1.2GHz Thunderbird's doing 1.466GHz easily at 60 C.. Will it do higher?

It has a blue core and I'm pretty sure it's week 10.. It's factory unlocked, too. It went straight from 900MHz (because of my old Duron's setting) to 1.466GHz without any problems at all.. I just changed the ratio to 11 and then put the 133MHz jumper on. I haven't had much luck with higher FSBs on this motherboard (MSI K7T Turbo with RAID).. Not because of my RAM, though, since my RAM did 148MHz on the other IWill motherboard.. Will this Thunderbird most likely do higher, or do most of them top off at around this speed? What about the temperature? That little plastic temperature detective mechanism is raised (I raised it up so it's actually touching the CPU) and it's giving me 60 C.. Is this safe? I'm using an Alpha PAL 6036 with a decent amount of arctic silver.

do you know what the max vcore setting is on your board? I think the older msi k7t only went to 1.80, I'm just curious if msi addressed this issue..

Well, I connected the L7 bridge that wasn't connected, so it should be defaulting at 1.85v.. But in the BIOS, I can use from 1.5v to 1.85v, in .025v intervals.

Well, the highest I can get it to post on this motherboard is 1.507MHz.. Which is using an FSB of only 138MHz, I believe.. Gives me windows protection errors. The highest I can run it stable is 1.474MHz, which is a 134MHz bus, I believe.. Hopefully I can get higher or at least use higher FSBs on the IWill board. After playing Unreal Tournament for about fifteen minutes at this speed, it shows 63 C..

ok...increase the fsb and decrease mutliplier..

try 10 X 150 MHz
