for most people, a quick browse of the forums though will find threads where people are runing 65C stock lol. i guess there is a trick to installing the HSF on the new CPU's?

i got a prescott 3.2 last week, the stock coolers pad melted 2 days ago =P my idle is about 41.. load bout 50... so yeah, 55 is pretty high for idle... but its all good, it wont hurt it.
sorry bout the soprano bashin, forgive me

 

[Apokalipse]

Lol spose not, but the intel stock hsf sucks.. i doubt it was built to handle a prescott its iight i just hooked up a zalman in it

55 is fine for prescotts, they run way hotter than northwoods. Its all good about the soprano. I am using a thermaltake heatsink. Xaser 7. 6500 rpm very loud. But I guess its sign of power lol
