Well I am running my 1700+ (which is 1.47ghz) at 1600mhz right now. I haven't unlocked the L1s yet and I am using AS2 compound along with an Aska Silver Mtn. I do not think highly of thermal take's products. I have never seen one that really does much for cooling.
Just keep your temps at or below 40ºC and you should be fine. I am running at 145mhz FSB without a problem.
Try getting as high up as you can without upping the Vcore that will keep your temps lower. Also if you board will allow it you can underclock the Vcore like I have done on mine and see how high you can push the FSB before you need to raise the Vcore that will allow the highest OC at the lowest temps.
