Q: I recently bought a 3.4 P4 775. My motherboard is an Asus P5P800. Out of the box temp was 65 C according to Asus probe software to the system. The stock HSF was also extremely noisy. So I bought a Thermaltake Silent 775. Now the noise is acceptable, but the temp hovering around 65. My case is just a crappy generic case, but Im planning to purchase a TT tsunami around Christmas. What can I do to lower their temps? Please help before my CPU chips!
PS As I write this the cpu temp is 69 C! The mobo is at 39 C.

Re:I'm having the same problem. I'm even getting a System Zone 1 Temp. of 50c. So just try AS instead of the Intel Pad?

Re:I have 2 LGA775 P4 3.4's and have had similar problems. Going from a Northwood S478, I did expect some heat issues since the Prescotts run HOT. I have tried 4 different HSF's with no apprarent solution. My temps idle in the 44c range and are 65c at load.
After much research, I read that on the LGA775 processors, the placement of the thermal compound is key. I use AS and usually apply a very thin amount on the processor before installing the HSF. I should say a very, very thin layer. After my research, it became apparent that after removing the HSF's, any of them, the only contact to the processor was around the edges. So I applied a more healthy amount and installed the HSF. Temps idle are now 37C and full load about 50C with the same HSF.
Wow – that a hell of a difference.

Re:Thanks for replying Green.
PS fan is blowing out the back like it should. It feels pretty warm, though.
Could this be a case of not enough or too much thermal paste?

Re:Does your fan from your power supply blow onto your chip..?… I saw that one time and it made us get super high temps.. other than that maybe you should check your CMOS.
