I have a 1500+ and have it at 166 after many trys. but I also have a massive heat sink and fan on a k7n2 motherboard with 512 ddr. so I would adivise u to start lower then 166 like around 140 and go up in increments of 3 untill its unstable then go back one at a time untill it rungs perfect. my 1500 is runingat 1.7 gig it was 1.333 stock at 133. Good luck
