OK my processor use to run 78 degrees idle overclocked with no voltage raise, then today I took out my processor to use the canned air to get all the dust off. Then I reinseted it and now it is getting up to 90 degrees!! I know the pentium can run safely to like 110ish, but why did the temps go up?? DO I have to re-burn in the chip since I removed it from the slot?? HElp me out guys. PLEASE

Do you have any thermal grease?

and What kind of chip do you have? (whats the speed)

EDIT: here is a site which will tell you the max temp your CPU can hold.

Probably the heatsink is not making as good of contact with the core as before or the thermal compound is not as well applied as before.
I know sometimes when I use artic silver my temps go up a bit maybe 2-5f then after about 1-2 hrs. it goes back down.
I have no idea why it does this and it does not always happen.
But going from 78 to 90 is quite a change.
Burning in the cpu is only a one time thing and only effects the cpu cells internally so you wont have to do it again.

oh lordy, those are Fareingheit temps. Please use Celsius here, I don't know jack about CPU and Fareingheit, and I'm american.
