I use my dell 4600 (got in december of 2003), with a 2.8Ghz P4 Prescott, 533Mhz FSB, no HT, for F@H and United Devices folding. It uses 100% of the CPU, and when I feel the copper heatsink, it is extremly hot, like as in it's uncomfortable to put my hand on it, so is the north bridge heatsink. I do have it running 24/7 but I was wondering if this is normal, since I use my main computer (A64) for folding when I am not activly on it, and it never gets hot (with a thermalright XP-90). Thanks, I'm just making sure that the heatsink is seated correctly, and everything is fine, since I know that prescotts get hot, but just checking.
 
If the HSF is hot, it means it's working. Prescotts run way too hot anyway, so it's probably not a problem.
