The Athlon Thunderbird 1000B-MHz processor promises moderate overclocking success. Most models from this speed grade can scale well beyond 1200 MHz with the factory heatsink. Better cooling can yield results exceeding 1300 MHz. Be careful when monitoring temperatures: the Thunderbird 1000B retains the 90° Celsius rating of its earlier cousins.
