Luna,
The heatsink you have is one we tested back in our Arctic Circle days that could not even keep a Celeron 366 @ 567MHz cool.
Socket Heatsink Test (Look at the top heatsink.)
Your T-Bird has a smaller contact area, requires higher heatsink to CPU pressure, and produces more heat than the Celeron we used for the test.
It sounds like the heatsink is not properly contacting the core, but even if it did, the heatsink is inadequate for that CPU. Get a real, high-quality heatsink. Don't risk your CPU or your data.
