Tornadored,
P4's are hot but you're right, that is a little high. Is that idle or working temp?
Idle and working, it does not vary much.
Case open or closed? Any cables in the way of cpu airflow?
Case closed, I worked today on organizing the cables to keep them away from the cpu.
New heatsink/fan? Clean? Intel or aftermarket? Designed for recent P4's?
All new, Intel heatsink and fan.
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?
I'll check it out.
If you installed it yourself, how much thermal compound did you use? Less is better.
None, the chip did not come with any.
