No matter what you do to it you can only push that Sanyo part so far.
The Sanyo '816 can be reliably pushed to 14 MHz, that's a given.
Sometimes you get some that run up to 15 MHz.  Very rarely you will
find one that will go 15.5 (maybe 16) MHz.  This is running at room
temperature with the cover off or with a System Saver (no ice cube
required, really).  The '816 produces no or very very little heat..
We're not talking about Intel CPUs (486DX-50/66) here where you can
read your email in the morning and cook breakfast on it at the same
time.
