.. lol anyone disagree? 45C idle, 55C full load now

Yep I disagree, still to hot. I dont run quite as cool as Seti does but he didn't state what his ambient air temperature is
My northy idles @ 31-33C load never exceeds 50C and I'm in Central Qld with ambient air temps around 28-30C still.
Where in Aussie are you?

Yeah, seriously.

NorthWood core 2.4ghz
Idle 24C
Full load 40C
Stock heatsink and fan.
ArticSilver 5 thermal paste.

Yeah I'm bragging...

Wtf? I have the exact same CPU here, same cooling, and even the same thermal compound.

Idle 47C
Full load 63C
