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...

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...

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

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...

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...

G Power lite is the one that uses white fan right?

G-Power Pro is better i think...

The cost: G-Power Pro: RM165 from moderno

Advise: Don't buy at Lowyat Plaza...

This is G-Power Pro:


This is G-Power Lite:


Notice the differences in number of heatpipes?

More heatpipes, higher performance liao...

G-Power Lite is much cheaper than the G-Power Pro...

I don't that outcome comes from the heatsink...
I think it's from you're motherboard sensor chip liao...

That's normal la...

No motherboard will report exact figure like the processor were set like...

Except if u're using a high end motherboard, than that is another story...

Hmm...
ASUS P4P800 E Deluxe is still considered high end motherboard for socket 478, but if compared to P4C800 E Deluxe, then the P4P800 E Deluxe is a defeat...

Anyway, just like what linkin182 says, it might be the problem that came from u're psu...

What type of psu are u using?

Anyway, is just my 2cents..

ALEIN or ALIEN?

Aiyo fren, don't worry about those little FSB differences laa...

As long as it didn't run to 180MHz, then that mean everything is okay laa...

Don't worry la...

You actually trust icute PSU?

What he mean is, try plugging in an ATI X1900XT on you're pc, and you'll know why we say Icute PSU's are lousy...

My advice:
Go for Enermax Liberty PSU series...
