I was wodering how hot should my P4 3.2GHz Northwood Core run at in idle and under heavy usage.

Help would be GREAT,
Thnks

3.0 northy runs at about 25'c idle, 50'c max load. 3.2 should be the same.

OMG, my 3.2 Ghz with a Zalman A-alcu Fan runs at 35 C Idle and about 55 C under heavy usage? How can i better decrease my temperatures?

I got lucky I suppose. I use standard voltages and the standard heatsink. Those temps are not bad though.

mine runs at about 40 idle and 60 load at 3.6 and it runs at about 36 idle and about 50 load at 3.0 with a the stock intel HSF.

those are maybe a little high for that cooler maybe look into your airflow in your case. If you abmiet temp is up then you'll see higher temps as well mine is sually about 74F or so
