my new 2.4c at a slight bump in voltage with an sk800u is flaming. seriously. i know abit boards run high on temp readings but i'm getting 67load temps. i have reapplied several times, using a 50cfm fan. i am using as2 paste that is old, so that may be the problem, but i doubt it. i ordred as3 and it should be here someday, but someone give me some suggestions on what could be going on. ive heard of hot p4s, but this is freaking nuts!

if your actual HS isnt burning to the touch its fine....adjust your settings to accomidate the high temps. If its stable its fine

You can lap you intel heatspreader like i did you a few C drops

I think you'd expect that from a 1ghz OC.

Hows your case airflow arrangement?

yeah, 2.4 @ 3.4 with that seems good...... but why dont' you just put your hand on that heatsink.. if it hurts when you touch.... it's really 69, if it doesn't.... then the probe is wrong... sometimes the easy solution is the best

my airflow is good....120 in the front and 120 in the back. it doesnt feel that hot to the touch so i must be alright, plus if it was really 69 i doubt my OC would be stable. so oh well, i'll survive. damn abit probes

or it could really be 69 degrees because the HSF isn't making good contact, I say reseat the HSF, if you do that and the heatsink isn't too hot to the touch your golden.

the base could be smooth, but not flat. Try putting your heatsink on the flattest surface you can find and see if it's warped.

Where are you getting your reading from?
Rumor has it that Abit MB's state temps about 10°C high.

Search motherboard forums......

still, if it's 10C too hot, then he's still on the hot side.

considering he got an extra 1ghz outta it, chances are he had to increase the vcore, which will definitely raise his max load wattage. I'm not surprised he's running hot.

uhh p4 vs amd are not a valid comparison. but things are getting better. i just got some AS3 and re-set the cooler and my load is down to right under 60. thats running 2 instances of prime95 and another CPU burn in all at once. so considering all that is happening and many abit boards read way above actual temps i am happy and stable at 3.4. i may be able to push it higher now that i got my temp down. i'll post some info.
