Well, after messing around with the fsb, voltage and multiplier settings for my 1.33 Tbird, it seems I have a stable system at 1.52ghz. So far I have tested the following software without a crash or error:

Seti@home
3dMark2000
Sisoft Sandra
Quake 3 Arena
Need For Speed - Porsche Unleashed
Serious Sam Demo

My Sandra scores were:
Dhrystone 4276
Whetstone 2102

More specs below in my sig.

So far the cpu ranges from 44c to 51c max.
my system temp (which I assume is the temp inside of my case) ranges from 32c to 34c max. There is one more temp sensor that basically stays at 25c (think that is the mb).

Right now I have an 80mm intake fan down below on the front, an 80mm intake fan on the side panel blowing on the hsf, and an 80mm exhaust fan in back at the very top.

I have room to add a 60mm exhaust fan on the back right behind the cpu which I plan on doing soon. I also plan on switching to the 430w Enermax power supply. Since my PSU sits right above the heatsink, I think the intake fan on the bottom of the Enermax along with the additional exhaust fan will probably drop my temps by at least 2 degrees.

I really need to cut out the metal in front of the current intake/exhaust fans, too. FYI, this is a full size tower.
