Here's my set up:
Abit KT7-Raid
256 Meg Crucial PC 133 cas 2 Ram
Alpha PEP 66 Cooler ( W/Delta 38 CPM fan)
Antec 830sx case with four fans

OC'd using multiplier only 10.5 by 10
Voltage bumped to 1.80
CPU Temperature Running at 113 F (currently running a burn in /stress program continuously)

BTW- the antec case, Alpha pep66 cooler and Artic silver made a big difference on the cpu temps ! Apple to Apple running at 1Gig overclocked my previous case averaged 109 to 114F cpu temps - this with one side of the case off!

I ran it earlier this evening at the same 1 gig in the new antec case bla bla bla- and the temp of cpu averaged 102 to 105- with the case closed up!

Even running at 1050 and volts upped to 1.80 and running a burnin program my cpu temp is 111F ! Much better than when I ran at 1 gig in previous case and sides off for coooling. Incidently, the cooler I used before was no slouch - Alpha 6035.

I attempted 1.1 gig thru multiplier only and tilted my bios - had to let it sit for five minutes before I could boot up and throttle back.

Also BTW- using the permated rear window defogger fluid to unlock my little ol oem duron 800.

Anyone - how much higher can the duron 800 go past 1050 ??

I don't know about you, but for me 1050 seems to be the limit. I can't set the multiplier any higher or else my computer won't post, and I get pretty unstable if i push the fsb too high.

How high it will go depends on your individual chip... There's only one more thing that I think you can try, and that's upping the voltage more. If your motherboard goes no higher than 1.80V, you can connect the L7 bridges on your Duron, which will get you to 1.85V... This may or may not allow you to go farther.
