proper contact

[Jetset]

Is 45 degrees Celcius normal on a 1.33ghz tbird? This is just the HSF no case fans. If this is too high, would it mean that I didn't make very good contact?

looks about right if that is a load temp. All depends on what your ambient temp is which will be high with no case fans.

Yeah that is load temp.
