Can I overclock higher with new Power supply?

[Geobronc]

Hi,

I have a 1.33 t-bird and am running fine at 1496mhz. I want to get higher but past 1500mhz I am unstable and running hot (48-52C) under load.

I have a 250w Powersupply (AMD Approved). Should I concider a 300w or a 400w instead? Will that help with stability and overclocking. Please give me some suggestions. Many Thanks!

What are your current voltage readings at you highest overclock?

[Geobronc]

My Voltage is 1.79. Its been hot here so my Ambiant temp is 90f and CPU Temp under load is running 52- 53C at the highest.

Even when it was cooler here, I cant get past 1500mhz without some problems like crashing and occasional blue screens.
I am stable at 1496mhz (136x11.0)

All your voltages +5v +3.3 +12.

Haven't you tried to increase the Vcore a little bit I know I did in my old comp and it worked for me.

Here is what I says in SiSoft Sandra....

Yes,

I tryed to increase Vcore, however I get my CPU temp to high when I do that.

Your voltages do need seem to indicate that your power supply is overloaded.
It aslawys good to have more than needed but as to yuor original question I would doubt it.
