Can anyone tell me how i can unlock or overclock my Athlon Thunderbird 1.4Ghz 266 fsb. I have a Gigabyte GA7DXR if it helps.

Most 1.4s are already unlocked, you should have a facility on your board to adjust the multiplier as you wish (although I've not used the Gigabyte board before, so I don't know the specifics of it)

I heard that i can overclock it by connecting the L1 cache up or summet, is this true if so is it safe?

You unlock it by connecting up the bridges on the CPU with a silver pen. Look here O/C Athlon (http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q3/000711/index.html). Safe if you have a steady hand!

I un-locked my chip by using a graphite pencil,and a piece od paper to line up the bridges.
