I have tryed everything except jumping the Voltage up higher to get to higher overclock, however maybe I should be satisfyed with current settings.
11 x137 Stable. 41C Idle 48C Load at 1.79 v on core.

You have a good Heatsink, you can go higher on the v-core, give it a shot and watch the temps.

More importantly, ARE you satisfied? You've got a system that I'm assuming is running stably at 1.5 GHz. Does this meet your computing needs? Will 50-100 MHz more make any difference in what you do? If you're wanting more speed in general, you might try going with SCSI, RAID0, more RAM and making a RAMDrive... the possibilities are endless. Personally, I would be happy with that clock speed (for now :) ) and get more speed in another way.
It's just the idea of saying that you have a 1600MHz thunderbird...no stock desktop processor on the planet can beat that...or a 1500 for that matter
more pride than anything else i think
also, i would definitely up the fsb (you have crucial ram that should hit at least 150 stable at cas2--if the chipset allows stably)
higher fsb decreases diminishing returns on processor speed
and get a faster hard drive...maybe 2 and raid them together

Well, I am pretty satisfied to be able to have a system that is stable at 1.5ghz.
My previous PC had a PIII Coppermine 650 O/C'd to 800mhz. So I am at 2x that speed, and my system now rocks!!
Thanks for the advice. I may tinker with Voltage to see if I can get more, but it isnt that important to me after all.
yeah if is is stable then go for more you should be fine with the wbk38.

Well, I think you should be happy with 1500mhz...for now that is. If it was me (and I wish it was =]) I'd let the chip alone for a bit and start tweakin out the rest of my system. Maybe get a couple of really fast hard drives and raid them together. Maybe tweak out yer vid card and OC that if you haven't already. Then come back and start OC'ing the processor again.
Nice OC man, I'm jealous =]

My 1.33 was BRAND NEW, and I ran it stock for about 15 minutes to make sure everything was A-OK. It was, I rebooted, cranked it to 10x150 CAS2 and voila, 1.5 easy, at STOCK voltage...after a little more playing around with voltage, I ended up at 1575mhz, (10.5x150)with core at 1.85v, and my Crucial ram loves the 150 bus at CAS2 with the ram timings MAXED on the Iwill KK266R with 307 turbo bios. I CAN run it at 1650 (11x150) but it is not stable at that speed...1606 (11x146) is not as fast as keeping the bus speed higher, so 1575 is my "sweet spot" on this rig...
This is WATER-COOLED though, I think if you went that route you should be able to punch 1.6ghz without too much trouble.
your a wuss. Pump that mutha to 11x150!!!!! Come on, you can do it. So what if you fried the CPU. If it's retail, you have 3 yrs warranty. Just don't tell AMD that OC'd the puke out of it though.
