How is this P4 temp?

[sman83]

I just installed a P4 3.0Eghz the prescott core one and heard alot of things about the heat problems, and I was just wondering on how my mine rates on temp so far. Also i havent got the system under full load yet just built it a couple hours ago.

Idle CPU temp=37c
Idle MB temp=25c

Just curious if i am getting higher or lower temps then expected.

Those are both quite low.

Just put some Arctic Silver 5 on it and in a few months the temps will be even better.

Idle temps are fine, but the load temps are what you need to be concerened with the most, prime95 it and see how high the temps clime. My 3.2es idles at 37c but gets to 60c under load(which isn't all that bad for a prescott). My 3.4 idled around 47c and got to 73-75c under load till I went to water cooling.

I ran the prime 95 for 5 min and the temp at full load was 48c any good?

48c is very good
