What PC temp app are you using?

i read through that intel burn test...kinda funny actually. I'm typing this while i'm testing.

Intel(R) is an extremely stressful program that will put even the most pow-
-erful X86/X64 CPU in the world at its knees. Load temp under Linpack will
be up to 22*C higher than the competing software Prime95.

i'm at 43 degrees and pretty stable... up and down a degree...but i also don't believe it's truly 100% loading the processor either. I notice some degradation of the computer, but 100% load should all but freeze the system. might be because i have a AMD processor and/or 32 bit OS.

Just out of curiosity can you install coretemp and see what your temps are like under full load? 43 seems suspiciously low and I know some people have problems with speedfan properly reading temps depending on what sensors you have. Coretemp also has a percentage gage per core to show the load that particular core is being stressed with.
... If for whatever reason your cpu really does have a load temp of 43 degrees under stock voltage/ stock fan then you could probably do some pretty good overclocking with it!
Gray_Area:
@hypernova: yup, I got it from CNET and from that page you linked.
The above-shown reading was with my external fan disconnected (because it was so quiet without). According to Intel, the P4 Prescotts are supposed to be stable up to about 75 C. I re-connected the fan, but turned it around so it is blowing out, and that seems three times quieter than pulling in. The temperature now idles around 35 C; a little higher right now with few tabs in a browser page, and Mala with background music on. Having a lot of tabs on two browser pages, and it may get up to 60 C.

I'm liquid cooled.
EDIT: running AMD quad core FX black edition on an Asus M5A-78LM LX series mobo. 4GB ram and an older GT9500 videocard and 4 harddrives 500 watt power supply, which i should probably upgrade.
EDIT2: the temp you see in the display below is the temp of the coolant after flowing through the radiator.
EDIT3: i installed coretemp, but can't get it to work properly. I'm just getting random low temp readings 5-15 degrees. currently settled at around 7 Celsius. i'm poking through some settings, but nothing seems to work.

Ah liquid cooling, yes that would explain it.
