RAM settings:
burst length - 4 or 8?

Check out this bios optimization guide for lots of info (http://www.rojakpot.com/Speed_Demonz/New_BIOS_Guide/Index.htm)
ALso, yes, i reckon that is way too low for your 5v rail.
the 3.3v and 5v rail are rather important for the mobo/cpu n everything on the mobo to function properly.
Does your PSU have a couple of pots inside it to change the voltage?

I've never opened it up, was told you could get a shock. Could you tell me more about it?

Thanks

you wont get a shock if you take precautions ;) you can discharge some of the buildup left in the psu and so long as you keep your hands and anything conductive (like a screwdriver) away from the larger caps and the transformer, you'll be fine.
