i am a bit concerned abuot tempraturues, i am gettign at idle state about 57 cpu, 42 board, i have a athlon tbird 1.4 gig
Don't be, those temperatures are perfectly fine.
another question i had is actually the power supply for the heat sink, well thing you connect it to , 1 of the 3 pins on the connector is missing, you maybe that is causing fan to get lesss voltage so it doesnt run at the rated speed
Heh, no. The one missing pin transmits information on RPM to the mainboard, it's nice to have it but doesn't make the fan run any more or less effective.
also the core voltage for my cpu is 1.75 but sme how its always at 1.8 and even the agp core is higher than wat it should be, maybe flashing the bios will fix that
That seems to be a pretty typical error, that is, I've got it and I know a lot of people who report similar stuff. Perhabs the display is wrong, or perhabs the motherboard manufacturers decided to go rather higher than lower than required in order to increase stability. A BIOS update might change that, or it might not, but in any event I wouldn't worry about it.
also i am in los angeles, ca, its very hot right now here, that might be a factor?
Yes, it is.
i am using some generic radio shack thermal paste, will as 3 make a difference?
Yep, it will, although it's extremely hard to say how much of a difference. Unless you applied it wrong (used ungodly amounts of it or something), the difference shouldn't be more than a couple of degrees celsius, so, again, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I certainly would remove and reapply unless you're going to remove it anyways (new CPU, HSF).
BTW, it'd be nice if you could pay heed to basic rules of spelling, punctuation and typography. It really would make replying easier.
