Hello,

I have a Intel Pentium 4 520J 2.8 Ghz Prescott processor and according to HWinfo32, it initiates its thermal throttling feature at about 55 degrees Celsius. I've tried everything to keep it under 55 degrees, but it always goes up to 56 at a full load.

I have read in some other forums that Prescott line processors are only supposed to initiate thermal throttling at 65 degrees not 55 so I am confused.

Anyway, if anyone knows where to find those temps it would be much apprecited
