Pentium D 830 Running hot with retail or Ninja.

Verify with a 2nd temp monitor, sometimes they can be inaccurate .. you should also feel the surface of the heatsink. Personally, I'd ebay that sucker, save some pennies, and drop a E6300 in. FWIW.
PS : Drop voltage and see if it's still stable? PDs should be kept below 60 if at all possible, so that under high loads they don't throttle on you.

The 8xx series pentium-d's are the worst when it comes to running hot. If you are staying under 75c you shouldn't be throttling, if you are running in the high 60's, thats fairly normal for those CPU's. The scythe ninja should at least keep it down in the mid to low 60's though. My 830 was hitting over 70c with the stock heatsink, even water cooling only got it down to the low 60's.
I had Pentium D 830 few months ago, it was idling at 34°C. The trick lies in using proper heatsink and carefully applying thermal paste

Idle temps mean little, I was refering to load temps..

Ah, you must have the rev b ninja. The older version has a backplate, rather than the plastic clips that the stock heatsink has. My roomate got the rev b ninja as well, it took him quite a few tries to get it fully seated correctly even though it looked like it was in place, so you may want to try reseating it again. Also, make sure you aren't using too much thermal grease, as that will also increase temps. If you put it under load, and feel the heatpipes, they should be hot to the touch if you are making good contact at 73c.

never did a ninja on a intel before, but for amd it has it's own backplate and socket... i tried using another hsf's socket to save time when i was swapping stuff around, and the ninja seemed to not have as much pressure against the chip...
pulled everything apart and put theh sycthe pieces on and the cooling improved...

Just to let you know how much a piece of shite Intel chips were then....My ninja rev B cooled my quad core QX6700 at 3.2ghz w/ 1.36v idle and 1.33v load and had coretemp load temperatures of around 66-71c....Idle were in the low 50's.....
It has cooled my C2D chips OC'd as high as 3.4-3.5ghz with 1.45v actual and had temps lower then 65c under load....
