Reply: (edit)my temps for the CPU is around 30 to 50 C and the temps for the system is usually around 40 to 60 C. and...i don't have any cash so i can't afford to buy a new psu. maybe in 2 months.

Reply: (edit)i don't know the exact model number for the PSU, but it is a generic 300 watt. as for the BIOS, i have a "hacked" ECS K7AMA bios that allows me to change the FSB speed from 100 to 146
