Just wondering what was typical for a non-overclocked P4 1.8a with the retail HSF? Mine seems to run really hot no matter what I do. My case temps don't get too bad(I've checked with everything I've gotten my hands on, from different thermal probes to a thermometer visible through the window), but my CPU and MB temps read upwards of 48C idle/55C maxload(Prime95 semms to crank it the most but also 3DMark and so on). This is through the BIOS, MBM5, and that annoying Hardware Doctor. The chip is B stepping and the board is an Abit BE7. I've scraped of the thermal pad and applied Arctic Silver but it help minimally. Everything seems rock-solid up to 2.6Ghz or so but those temps are scaring the crap outta me. I plan on going Canterwood by fall but I really want to know what the problem is.
