Well, that "Could" increase performance. I would say that putting a power
supply two times the amount then you had was the true increase of
performance. However, the freezing up problem can be caused by MANY things.

Yup.

Furthermore, the cooler you can get that Processor, the better it will run.

To use basic language: I assure you a definite upper limit to the CPU's speed
exists, and once this limit is reached, cooling further will have no effect.
