What is the highest FSB you ever had stable on a KT133A board?

[JHeiderman]

Just as the title says guys. I am embarking on a little overclocking action on my motherboard and I'm trying to have a bit of fun with it. The board is a MSI K7T Limited Edtion board. The new CPU is a Athlon 1600+ and the RAM that I have on the way is PC150. Before you start crapping on my thread for going with old hardware this was just a cheap upgrade for fun until I build my next system in a year or so.

I lapped the GK38 Heatsink that I got from SVC and I am going to replace the fan with a higher CFM one. I lapped the northbridge passive heatsink and applied AS2 and a small fan on top. I lapped a big ol' Socket-7 heatsink with fan for my Geforce3 Ti200. I also added a small voodoo3 2000 heatsink to my SBLive because I was a heatsink lapping fool and it looked like it looked lonely without one.

So here is my question? Is the 150FSB possible? I am pretty sure that the chip can do it because a lot of people are running these chips at 166FSB's in their KT333 boards. I know the ram can handle the 150FSB, the only thing I'm not sure of is if the northbridge can handle the 150FSB. So... getting back on topic:

What was the highest FSB you ever had stable on a kt133a board and how did you do it?

Thanks,

EDIT: I don't think this posted correctly the first time, sorry if it shows up twice.

160Mhz(fastest settings) on an Iwill KK266-R board using Mushkin Rev 3+ memory. Too chicken to go further.

I got about the same results with a KK266 and Mushkin Rev1.5 pc133. 160mhz...thats all the ram would do, 161mhz and it wouldn't boot unless I slowed the ram timings down all the way.

keep the northbridge cool, the whole case for that matter.

150mhz should be no problem with good ram.

170mhz @ CL2, Turbo, 4-Way with a 1.4ghz Tbird on a Iwill KK266-R.

Ahhhhhh...the good ole days..

I believe my Abit KT7A v1.3, is a KT133a board.

I've only gotten a 144 FSB stable. I think is my ram limiting it, as its just generic pc133 junk.

I do recall a higher FSB if i lowered the multiplier... I don't remember how high I got though.

At stock RAM voltage and with SDRAM, my Shuttle AK11 ramps up to 150 only, I haven't tried tinkering with the RAM yet, but it probably won't produce much over 160. I also had a KT7 Turbo LE, (man sweet red color) but I destroyed it hehehe.

Ok guys, here are my results so far. I am running Kingmax PC150 and that seems pretty solid. I haven't tried aggresive memory timings yet. My CPU is running a little hot 57C at it's peak. I'm definately going to have to get a better fan for the CPU. The worst part is that my case is a cool 23C! Stupid cpu cooler.

Anyway, that's where it stands right now. I've got my 1600+ running at 1.577ghz and my bios reports it as a 1900+. I'm going to bump it a bit higher (the FSB) and see what I can get. According to MSI the fastest cpu my board can handle is a 1800+ Shhh!!! Don't tell it!

Thanks for all your help and comments!
