    Should I give up cooling my P4 Prescott?

    Right now, the heatsink fan is oriented to shoot the air away from the mobo. I tried the other way for like 5 minutes once, but the temps were the same. I'll try it again.

    Nice suggestions, I'm going to get some sort of fan(s) for Christmas, I just have to decide on which. All those previous temps were at idle. Thanks again, and I'll be sure to post my results when I get my new shtuff.

    Should I give up cooling my P4 Prescott?

    I tried putting on a ton of Arctic Silver 5. Here's a pic of the CPU before putting it in the MB: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~jbc3j/IMG_0260.JPG. The temp difference is a lot better then before but what do you think about the amount of AS I'm putting on? Current temps: Motherboard: 44...

    Safemode has run this slowly before, but when I did the spyware scan a couple days ago in safe mode, nothing came up. I'll post my hijackthis results after I get back from class today.
