Asus/AMD system questions and concerns..

I recently upgraded to an Asus A7V333 mobo and AMD XP2000/1.67G chip (or so I thought.. ). When initially setting up my BIOS, an Asus tech informed me to set my cpu processor speed to 1.733, multiple 12.5x and fequency at 133/33.. here was his reasoning.. He informed me that the shop i purchased the AMD XP2000/1.67G chip from actually sent me an XP2100/1.733G chip.. b/c at BIOS cpu speed setting, the only options I had after installing the chip were: Manual, 1300mhz, 1733mhz and 2167mhz .. ??? Well, recently, my system has been shutting itself down and what not.. Also, I noticed my cpu temps rather high (120-140-degrees farenheit). I've read that AMD chips run hot.. but NOT that hot.. am i 'overclocking' (whatever that is??) ?? can someone please advise as to what's going on, please?? in the interim, i have set the cpu speed to 1.333G, but feel cheated.. i'm thinking maybe the company i bought the chip from shystered me and sent me an AMD 1.3G chip.. possible?? Odd thing is that the original AMD packaging, instructions, warranty booklet made no mention whatsoever as to exactly which chip it was in the package... ?? wtheck??!! Thanks much.

First of all download this essential tool > WCPUID V3 Run it, end tell us later on whatever you've seen there (screenshot might be nice)

WCPUID 

.. 12.5 * 133 = 1662.5 mhz.

133 Bus speed and heatsink compound.. 

Do your self a favor, and leave that heatsink mess alone, you only need to deal with that stuff once,eventually you'll end up with a damaged Processor core.. Anyway, you're running this baby slightly miss-configured,Enter your mobo BIOS: ADVANCED> CPU Speed> set it to Manual (it's OK) ADVANCED> CPU Frequency Multiplier> set it to 12.5 ADVANCED>CPU/PCI Frequency (MHz) Set it to 133/33 Run WCPUID again you should see then>System Clock 133 System Bus 266 Back To BIOS Again POWER>HARDWARE MONITOR>CPU TEMPERATURE XX Celsius/XX Fahrenheit Write it down , and post it here later (in Celsius Please):D

Oh, also... 

Forgot to mention that when re-booting (after each time the system shut itself down), the system take me straight to the advanced screen of BIOS, messaging (in red) that the: "..system hung at last shutdown due to improper processor speed. Please check CPU speed.." Thanks Ramirez.. I will do as advised after work this evening.

ok, here's info... 

Looks just fine to me,just relax and enjoy the ride bro. :) .P.S your CPU isn't overheated at all; 60/70 Celsius are normal operating temperatures of Athlon XP.
