Pentium D, heat issue?

Hey,

Well recently my 945 Pentium D, has been idle at 55c which is stupidly hot for stock speeds. Considering when I first got it, it ran @ 4.5GHZ @ 33c Idle.

Does it seem buggered?

'tis hot, old chap - how about a reseat ?

is the heatsink clogged with dust at all?

Heatsink is 4 weeks old, so its literally clean.

I replace the thermal paste every 7 weeks, with Artic Silver.

So, I'm confused.
