CPU Temp problem

[firehawk_1]

I have a good P4 3.00GHz. I remember a couple of years ago the temp was around 57 mark or maybe just less but now looking at it, its around the 80 mark!

What is the normal running temp of this CPU? What can I do to cool it down? It is on day and night 24/7 but not in a "hot" room or anything.

Clear the dust out of your computer, reseat the heatsink with a fresh coat of AS5 or a thermal compound of your choice.
