I believe so too...there's no way on idle a properly installed processor can reach that sorta temp...less u put it near your living rooms window and having direct sunlight

Reapply your thermal paste...but before doing so, please do a proper cleaning first~ use those lint free cloths and dont RINSE your cloth...keep it dry...wipe all those paste and reapply them. Should do the trick.

yeap I agree, Best is use Arctic Silver 5.... haha... to the threadstarter, if ur hse is near mine, I can help you apply for a very small fee. I bought a 12gram one now so much left still

tis 1 is da latest i tink??
the 4.32 beta i read d...
jes add in sumthin nothin special...
i wil post my comp spec later...
i oso wonder y 66 so high
can tell me which temp means which???
thx~~!!!!

It's hard to know which temperature is for which hardware if u're using Speedfan to monitor it...

I suggest, go download a copy of PC Wizard 2006 from:
http://www.cpuid.com

Then install it, run it, then click on the icon that looks like a speedometer...

It's easier leh...

okok
thx lot`~~
coz i thouhgt speedfan quite famous mar..

i hv 1 question...izit possible the cpu temp could it be wrong..???
coz when i plasy dota..the temp up til 84...but no even a little lag at all..
coz my fren told me if over 80...it wil auto shutdown o warnin..~~~

Holly mother!!! y the heck ur temp is GD high?ur using stok HSF?have u clean ur pc yet?

#coz my fren told me if over 80...it wil auto shutdown o warnin..~~~
*yes if u have preset it at ur bios

I suspect is ur sensor gone spoil,cos i have my previuos rig,P4(630) running at 60 celcius and everything runs smoothly and fine...

oh yeah kinda remember this happens to a fren of mine.brother sHaWty

i am using tis hsf
http://www.coolermaster.com/index.php?LT=e...X%20Dream%20III
even if i no apple thermal paste properly...cant b idle oso up to 70 rite?

Paiseh..
Who told you to use that heatsink?

That's a sucky sucky heatsink liao...

That heatsink is a low end heatsink...

It's performance is much lower than the Prescott original heatsink that came with the intel when you buy it...

Change the heatsink to a more performer such as Hyper 48, Hyper 6+, XP90C or XP120...

um...i read da spec...tis hsf stil ok..~
bsides, my fren using same mobo wif me...same p4 2.8e
he using gigabytes G Power...but his temp oso omost like me...jes slightly lower...60C when idle..play dota 64C
izit our mobo sensor not compatible...?using dfi 865PEAL..

.......................

No it's not okay...
That HSF is a low end heatsink...

You're processor uses a prescott cores...
I even use that heatsink once...

And i use it for my 3.0E [The same core with you're processor]

Stock intel heatsink: 58celcius
CM XdreamIII: 62celcius
CM Hyper 6+: 40Celcius [My 3.0E is overclocked to 4GHz (means running at 4Ghz speed)]

Just look at it's design, and compare it with the other heatsink that is on the market and you'll know the cooling power of it...

I've used a lot of heatsink, so i know how does that Xdream III performs...
Don't believe me?

Check my successful tradelist, i've been using a lot of heatsink...
And the best heatsink so far for me is Thermalright Ultra 120 and Thermalright XP120...

haha..tat time out of money..tat's y no buy those expensive...summore 1st time using...lolx...anyway...i goin to buy another if case like tat...
wut's da price of Thermalright Ultra 120 and Thermalright XP120.?

i tink ultra 120 kenot compatible wif my processor...
i use socket 478...
wut's da price for xp120??
where can i buy for it?

Thermalright XP120 is already stopped from being manufactured...
It's old already...

About Thermalright Ultra 120, i don't know either this heatsink can be used on socket 478 or not...

As u're using Socket 478, my suggestion is go for Gigabyte G-Power Pro...
I've used that heatsink for my Pentium 4 3.0E before, and what i get is a performance that is much better if compared to CM Hyper 6+, when i'm using G-Power Pro, i got 38celcius when i'm oc'ed my 3.0E to 4GHz..

I don't know why you're friend get 60celcius while using that heatsink. Perhaps maybe u're fiiend didn't fit it well or didn't use thermal paste or use thermal paste, but maybe too thin or too thick or maybe he uses that heatsink on the lowest speed...

G-Power Pro are known for it's better performance if compared to CM hyper 6+ or CM Hyper 6...

And to add up, it's much much lighter than CM hyper 6+ or CM Hyper 6...
