Howdy,

I'm having high CPU temperature issues with my pc.

P4 3.00GHZ (360)
ASUS P5WD2 PREMIUM MB
2Gig RAM
Leadtek PCI-E 6800
Case: Thermaltake with 3 built in fans, 2 chassis and a side inlet fan

The problem is my CPU seems to be running to hot.

The idle temperature was around 60 degrees Celsius with stock fan (room at 22 degrees Celsius).
I purchased a new heat sink and fan (G-Power pro GH-PDU21-MF) and installed it which got the temp down to around 50 degrees Celsius at idle, but goes over 60 degrees under load.

From what I have read this CPU should idle well below what I have it at.

Does anybody have any suggestions what the problem might be?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.....
