[Slow Processor & Heat]
Ok so taking a look at my specs you will notice that my processor is running a tad slow (567 MHz slower in fact :hdbash: )
This is currently due to the crappy cooling I have in my rig...I mean according to Asus Probe and my bios I'm running 57° Celsius @ Idle thats with an ambient (case) temp of 36° Celsius and according to the temperature monitor that sits on my desk an average of 24° Celsius room temperature all the while running at the slower speed of 1600 MHz.
I have come to the conclusion that I need 3 more fans and a better heatsink to cool this bad boy down so I can enjoy my cpu's full potential without having to worry about the core melting down.

[Power Supply]
To juice this jet engine I'm gonna need a better power supply and I was thinking about this one. Would it power 5 "80 mm" fans plus everything else in my rig?

[Memory Bus]
Player-X reminded me of something I was supposed to include the first time around :hdbash:
When I set my system to full speed (aka 2167MHz) the memory bus jumps from 133 (@ 1600 MHz) all the way up to 266 (@ 2167 MHz)
My question here is...well is this right on a system with a Athlon XP 2700+ with PC2700 Memory
Granted I don't know much about the Memory bus and what its purpose is other than what I've read on google so please feel free to tell me that I have nothing to worry about and that everything will be peachy :thumb:
