OC cooling problem / temperature readings

[winrawr]

I've recently been trying to OC my comp and I've been following all sorts of guides to no avail. Every time I try to OC, its makes my PC run worse.. I think it is because my rig is overheating... in my bios it says that my system temp is 28C but my core temp is 80C!(NOT overclocked) My first question is,
1.for my the gigabyte 965P-S3, is there a program to tell me the temp besides looking at the bios? I've been looking for various fans/heatsinks and I think I want the Thermaltake BigTyphoon
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106061) but
2.I want to know if you guys think it will fit in my case?

Read the Core 2 Duo overclocking guide: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=posting&mode=quote&mode2=1&p=1584567

Install SpeedFan
Core Temp has some merit
Use TAT for load testing.

Make sure you add 15C to the core temp reading in speedfan.
If the 965P-S3 is mostly the same as the DS3 then Temp 2 will be your Tcase temp
