I'm looking for some results, because i am wanting to overclock my system but i would like to see if it is worth the risk/trouble...

An added risk is that my HSF is really tight and i do not wanna break it... The reason i have to take it off is to connect the L1 Bridges so i can overclock with the multiplier...

Thanks....

My experience running a T-Bird 900 AGGA on an EPoX 8KTA3:

I can only run at 1050 at 1.85v, though it is totally stable. I can run up to 1000 at stock voltage, but cannot pass 1050 no matter what (even 1066 fails to boot Win98). However, I am running at 7x150, which gives great performance anyway.

One great feature of the 900 is that it can be converted to a 700 by connecting only one L6 bridge and without cutting any. Using a default 7x multiplier is perfect for me because 7x150 is my maximum overclock, and 7x133 is default for CPU and MB and yields good performance while being only 33 MHz over stock, so I can run at default voltage when desired. In this case, I don't even need to connect the L1 bridges, as 7x is the perfect multiplier.

I still wish I could run higher, but without more voltage, it will not happen.
