I have just a few questions

I cant set my bios FSB to allow any more than 1160mhz on my processor.. I think it is because i need better cooling? the temp monitoring prg that came with the a7v266e says its as 80C.. and that seem very high. Could this be why i cant raise the mhz to what it should be?
-- This is my first sys i built, I used a gateway PIII 500 case i had and it has NO case fan.. I want to cool it better.. WHat do you guys reccomend? Case fans and heatsink/fan?? By the way should a case fan/fans blow air in or out???
THanks for the help

As for a H.S.F I'd say go with Swiftech which ever model will fit. As for case fans they go both ways. You'll want the intake near the bottom and the exhaust near the top.
