Just wondering about removing the heat spreader from my P4. Seems the temps are a bit higher than they used to be on my old Celeron 900Mhz. I have a P4 2.6Ghz and have NOT overclocked it at all.
Could is be that the motherboard is just using the thermal diode on the CPU itself instead of an external sensor? :shrug:
Under full load I am showing in MBM5 a temp of 45° C with an ambient room temp of about 23° C.
The old CPU was only at about 38° C under full load with the same room temp.
