What is the best/highest Multiplier/FSU combination people have achieved?

Just need some opinions.

Thanks

The highest I've seen is X10 with a 105 FSB. But if I were you I'd go in X0.5 steps till youu loose stability then backoff X0.5 to where you were stable, then take the FSB up till you loose stability. Each chip on a given motherboard will behave differently, you may be only able to get 900MHz or you might get 1200MHz.

Many of the 800 MHz T-Birds, including mine, go only up to around 1000 MHz. If this is the case for your bird too, I'd suggest 9.5x106 or so (this is what I use). You don't really want to run the board much above 110 MHz (assuming it's a KT133 board), so this is probably a reasonable setting. But if you can get it higher, maybe 10x105 to 10x107 or something like that would be nice...

I have a Abit KT7 motherboard, And if I want to increase the FSU, I should only adjust the FSU Plus setting so it only affect the CPU and not the other conponents?

DocYahoo,
despite what abit says, the fsb (yes it is fsb as in front-side bus, not fsu) plus seting does affect the other components in the system. trust me i have one, hell if you don't trust me try sisoft sandra it will tell you the same.

loosbrew,
the kt133 chip doens't like to be overclocked much, you might get more if you add extra cooling but its not easy. however because the kt133 alows you to run the memory at fsb+pci a 110mhz fsb puts the ram at 147mhz so good ram will come in handy. as for good ram, i got my mosel form kdcomputers and am very happy with it, great price and a lifetime warnty from a true reseler.
