    Post CPU temps?

    Just got done building my P4 1.7 on an ASUS P4T-E board. Is there something seriously wrong with the asus pc-probe program? If I look in pc-probe, it tells my my cpu is running at 129 F, but if I restart, immediately go into the bios, and look at the hardware monitor in there, it tells me 89.5 F.

    What should I trust?

    I dont think that 89F is that hot. Not much more than room temp. 129 is warm but I would not be overly concerned there either.
    I guess I would check and see what this chip is rated for. Also was this a retail chip?

    Yes it is retail, stock heatsink/fan. I'm happy with 89, that's about what my P3-550 used to run at. My girlfriend's 1.6 P4 runs at about 102. On her asus P4B motherboard, it shows the same temp in asus probe and in the bios. Wonder why theres such a gap with mine.

    Asus Probe could be wrong, but then again the only version that used to be wrong was the one shipped with the P3B-F one.

    53C is not too hot, but it's kinda hot for a Pentium 4 processor.
    This is the old-fasioned way:
    Put your finger carefully on the heat-sink. Can you leave it there for more than 10secs, or is it too hot?

    My P4 2.0 is overclocked to 2.2 and runs at 47c with the stock retail HSF.

    Nope. Intel ships thermal grease with it's retail socket 423 chips but not the 478. I figured what the hey, they don't include it, it must not need it. Runs cool and fast....
