Temperature of P4 Prescot 3.0

[KID]

I have simple question. What is the normal temperature of Pentium 4 Prescot 3.0 GHz. I have just bought a new one and the temperature seems to be quite high - 58°C - 66°C !!!
Is it normal??? What is the maximum temp for these CPUs???
Thanks for answers

That is normal. a little warm tho. I believe it is safe up to 80°.
I have a 3200 Prescott, and runs from 53° to 65°

actually it is 3280mhz under load, and 3217 idle.

Your CPU changes clock speed under load? Thats worrying.

I think it is GigaByte's C.I.A. (CPU Intelligent Accelerator) which is enabled.
It is similar to Asus's P.A.T. technology.

yea

Prescot means PresHOT

What's the point by increasing the CPU's speed by 63Mhz on load - I can't see that making any kind of difference at all.

I read that the GiGabyte boards increased the fsb under load to give a better bench mark score for a selling point .

I just re installed a 3.0 Prescot ,,, oc'd to 3.2 . Temp under load was 57 C . Is that ok ? Someone said above " safe to 80 " Thats 80c right ?
