Makes no difference.. you might be putting too much or too little of the goop on.. or the v-core might be up

I will pull it off and try it again. Thanks for the help.

The reason I was asking is because the stock cooler should run the 800 fsb at about 33C. I just built a system with it, and the oc to 3.30 only pushed it up to 34C.

yeah, my temps are always between 25 - 40C, and ive got 2 intakes and 2 exhaust + PSU fan. with stock sink and 3000+. id say add more fans, and try dropping your VCore to 1.6.

always remember to use VERY little thermal goop on the cpu.

thermal goop? that a technical term?

Hehe, it is among nerds...It's one of those inet phrases like "n00b" and w00t....

yea.. substitute goop for paste...

Exactly, like box for case or axe for guitar...

box means whole computer too.. like "linux box"
never heard axe though...
