1. Whats the stock voltage for the CPU?
2. whats does sync mean? i keep seeing it on these forums.
3. whats the best cooler to put on the north bridge?

If your CPU code is DKV3C then stock is 1.65
if its DUV3C then its 1.6 volts

Sync means running your CPU FSB at the same speed as the MEmory---- Keep your memory running at 100 percent in the bios, not 125 or 150% The memory and CPU like to work at the SAME speed.

Northbridge cooling is a must, I use the Vantec Iceberg on both North and South, the Zalman Passive cooler also works well, the Stock cooler is ok but you need better to reach higher FSB
