My 5 years old OCZ PowerStream start having undervoltage issue (12v led light showing yellow/orange color) and it has causes me a lot problems (computer freeze, auto restart, won't boot) recently. I'm consider replacing it with a better PSU since I probably gonna build a new rig next year...

I personally would not go anywhere above 1.5v. From your description seems that B3 chip is reaching the limit, I doubt you gonna get much more out of it even with more voltage. Like myocardia said, B3 stepping chip just not that good for oc. I just assembled a new rig last night with the G0...
