From the PIII Celeron to the P4 upgrade all that was changed was the Mobo, CPU, RAM... HDs... etc... Not the cooling system... and the Video card remained the same.

The Radiator is completely isolated from the rest of the system and won't pick up any radiant heat from the PC components.

This is when I saw what I felt was severely elevated temps.

Yesterday Afternoon/Evening I removed the CPU block and cleaned it up... (removing AS2 and general trim to get it to sit flat on the CPU. (corners had to be trimmed a bit as it was hitting part of the stock P4 mount bracket.

Pulled out the pump to see what it was doing... thought maybe the flow was turned down (variable inlet valve). It was okay.

Put everything back together after lapping the P4 and with minimal AS2 as previously stated.

So far my temps are about are about 3 to 4 degrees C lower.

My guess is that the CPU block was off a little where it was hitting the P4 HSF bracket (I use the original mounting to hold in my block) and the AS2 was a bit thick.
