hey, i don't have a p4, but i just read the article on the front page about removing the heat spreader and the drops in temp. the guy got. i figured, intel wouldn't put this heatspread there if it caused higher temps, and the guy mentioned what a crappy job of thermal goop intel had put on the chip. so what if, you removed the heat spreader, cleaned it up and lapped it, put a quality application of artic silver, then reattached the heat spreader, then put the heatsink....i dunno, just an idea if anyone wants to try it.
