Hello,
Recently I just got a setup with a P4-630 (3ghz/2mb cache) with an Asus P5AD2E-Deluxe motherboard.

Last night I was trying to set it up with a Thermaltake Silent 775 Cooler, and i found that one of the screws was stripped and wouldnt thread in (this is a brand new unit btw). So I put the stock intel cooler on and away i went. I made sure i cleaned up all the AS5 i had on the cpu off of it before mounting the stock intel sink with its TIM on there.


I get into the bios, at Idle im showing a 53c (127f) degree temp???? I was worried about this, so I installed windows, loaded asus PC Probe, showed the same thing at idle in windows.. I installed prime95 and cranked away, it went up to 60c and stayed there the entire time I ran Prime95 (10 minutes)

Is something wrong with my diode on the motherboard you think? should I not trust those temps?

I have to get a performance CPU cooler anyways and since the silent 775 is dead, what do you guys recommend as the best of the best (air cooling) for an LGA 775 system??

Keep in mind this is a 04a chip which is suppost to be lower heat/lower power consumption.
 
Is your room hot? Did you make sure if you seated the heatsink properly and applied an appropriate amount of AS5 (a rice grain size)? Does the heatsink feel fairly warm to the touch?
 
The Room is 72 degrees (central A/C), the ambient case temp is 78 degrees... I used a BB sized amount of AS5 (per their directions on the website), the HSF is in direct contact with the chip, no gaps i looked from a horisontal POV and it looks good and tight.

can someone help?
