its crazy that ads could be more cpu intensive than encoding a divx, or running superpi or something.

It's all the flash on the website. Flash is super cpu intensive. Visit some of those overdone/overloaded/tacky myspace pages filled with a bunch of animated photo albums, video, and audio players and see how much your cpu lights up there

I was about to ask how your CPU is hitting 60C, as I don't think even quad cores should be doing that with a proper heatsink, but then I saw the Pentium D in your sig.

yeah it will hit ~55-57C running prime all night long...

but 5 mins of sitting on the tv guide website and it hits 60C, it's nuts...

close the IE window and it drops back down to 40C idle...

Yup some sites seriously overdo it with the flash. If you're using Firefox try the FlashBlock plugin, it's the bee's knees.

Search for the heatsink (you should find it somewhere in your house), open up the case and put it on the processor where it belongs.
