    I ran into problems when overclocking. Everytime it runs more than 160MHz FSB it just locks up at random time, if it just simple browsing its fine, if I run some programs it vary from few second to few minutes. Same goes for 3D gaming.

    What I have done is relaxed the memory timing and also reducing the memory frequency via Thaiphoon Burner, but both method fails to get the stability that I wanted.

    The PLL chip is ICS VS3197BL, I saw one guy here managed to overclocked it. I did the same just by checking his PLL control registers and mine. I don't have the datasheet itself, I try to PM him but he hasn't been online for quite some time, does anyone has this particular datasheet.

    So my question is whether the stock 65W adapter is enough to supply power in overclocked state (both GPU and CPU overclocked)? Its because compared to my older ASUS A42Je with 90W power adapter could reach higher overclock speed, so it it the power adapter issue? Or it it something else that hits the wall?

    It's nothing you can really do about... some CPUs allow for a higher OC than others... it's mostly luck whether you got a highly overclockable one or not. They're made to run at a BCLK of 133, everything in addition to this is "bonus"
