Intel P4 - 3.06 processor temperature ?

[wpshooter]

I am building an new desktop system in which I am using an Intel P4 - 3.06 Ghz processor.

I already have an older system which I built using an Intel P4 - 2.53 Ghz processor. The idle temperature on the processor (the 2.53) usually runs at about 33C.

I notice that when I fireup the new system that the BIOS is reporting the 3.06 processors' temperature at about 45C.

I current have a Cooler Master AeroFlow (P4 Model) cooper heat sink combination on the 3.06 processor.

Is the approx. 12 degree higher temperature for the 3.06 Ghz processor normal or should the idle temperature of this processor be lower than this (45C) ?

Thanks.

It really should be lower, in my opinion. It's more than likely because you have better case airflow in the case with the 2.53. You do have the fan speed turned up on your Aero hsf, right? Because 1900 rpm isn't going to cool a 3.06B.
