Your friend may want to check his HeatSink and HS fan, to make sure it's seated properly. Also make sure you use thermal compound between the cpu and HeatSink (or at the very least a thermal pad).
If you apply too much thermal compound, it can actually hamper heat transfer to the HS/Fan, so make sure you read the directions on the manufacturers site. Arctic Silver makes good thermal compounds.

i would get that heat proble fixed first. that overheating could be the cause of your processor being underclocked to only 1.1. take off heatsink, reapply thermal paste. make sure the heatsink is mounted flush on the processor and isn't wedged up. make sure your heatsink fan is spinning
Heat Sink.....
It is one of those AMD Box CPU Heat Sinks, do not use it as they are IMO poor quality.
Get yourself a thermotake volcano 11 heat seek. I just installed one on my AMD Athlon 1700, and on the low setting, the temp is a nice 27c (as appose to my last heat sink which was keeping things about 55c)
