alright i have a 130 watt psu (please no flaming haha) and i have three fans running directly from the psu(my mobo has no fan connectors) and i used to be able to get to 2.48ghz and be stable but i cant even get to 2.3 today after installing my third fan.... could the fans be draining power and not letting me oc? and if so any suggestions? my friend has a 250 watt hes going to give to me for free

What is the wattage or amperage on the fan. It's possible the new fan is introducing noise into the line that is interfering with the CPU. A quick test would be to disconnect the fan and reclock.
