Tornadored,
P4's are hot but you're right, that is a little high. Is that idle or working temp?
Case open or closed? Any cables in the way of cpu airflow?
New heatsink/fan? Clean? Intel or aftermarket? Designed for recent P4's?
Is the fan running at full speed? If it's connected to a temp-controlled power connector on the MB, can you change the trigger temps in the BIOS?
If you installed it yourself, how much thermal compound did you use? Less is better.
