Just wondering if 80ºC is a tad hot for a pre built-P4 pc. I'm pretty sure there will be next to no thermal compound left on the di and the hsf needs sorting.. But this is getting to the extreme in terms of heat surely?
 
Christ.. I think it's skt478.. Is that right? The temp was measured in bios after a restart. All the pc was doing before the restart was browsing the internet..
 
Lol, just as I thought. It has a ridiculous fan guard which I'll be removing, I'll be placing an extractor fan on the back and re-seating the CPU in some fresh thermal compound. If the crazilly high temps persist then I'll be back for help from the trusy OcUK Forums.
