The 3.0 you have should be a hothead. In my experience, the idle temperatures can be as high as 45 to 50C, with the fully loaded temp being around 60 to even 70C. If it levels out at 20/25C, you must be in a *very* cold room. (That, or you have one of the newest P4s with zero execution bit enabled. Highly unlikely, but those are much cooler in idle mode.)

As bal8664 said, the P5AD2 uses an intel chipset, the 925X. It's one of the newest, shiniest chipsets around.
