Well those temps are always off, could be +- 10 if not more. The prescotts do run relaly hot, i wouldn't worry though. If its not throttling teh cpu your fine.

Also if it helps. I can touch the heat sink. which is colder to the touch than my Prescott 2.8... anyone have any ideas? Could a bios flash do the trick? help is greatly apreciated!
Cheers! Sacroligous |

generally if the Heatsink is cool to touch, its because the heat isnt dispersing onto it, did you put the right amount of Artcis silver 5 on? Maybe a better HSF thats propery lapped on bottom would do the trick..
You can download MBM5 and see the cpu temps http://mbm.livewiredev.com |

mbm5 gets its reading from the Asus mobo, the temps will be the same, whats the point?
