Ive reseated it now idle is at 60 and full load is 80c.
It's still too hot...

If i touch the heatsink, its cold, and the CPU is medium. Could it be a sensor?

Bump.

Have you followed the instructions when seating the HSF? How's the old computer working?

Yes, i<ve followed the instructions. It<s been working since 2005.

Well, which HSF are you installing onto which MB? What is the Vcore (voltage to the CPU) in BIOS? What CPU are you using? The temps seem high, how or what software are you using to measure the temperature of the CPU? I only ask this beause these are the appropriate questions to ask in this situation.

You found the cord for the PSU. How about this stuff? Has time provided answers? I can point you apps that cold provide clarification if any confusion still exists. :??:

lol, not that computer XD
You were on by that time This goes back to 2006

Whatever, My Vcore is 1.25
I<m using Pentium D 2,8 GHz, (Presler)
And im using BIOS and Everest ultimate to see my temps.

I have a pentium D 925 running currently. 60c is not that far off, a little high with stock cooling. Properly positioned case fans directing fresh airfow front to back of the case will reduce CPU and other MB chip temps considerablly. My 925 D is a Micro build in a small case with 'restricted' airflow. With the stock Intel HSF, I believe high 40's idle with an immediate jump to 50-51C under small load. I installed this Zalman HSF and my CPU temps idle are low to mid 40's, moderate load under 50C. The system runs all day at a workstation. At any rate, if using the stock Intel HSF they can be pain to get right. You might try pushing down slightly on the top of the HSF and observing the CPU temps. If the temp goes down when pressing the HSF against the CPU, the installation is bad. Best I can do with it.
