After reading so many reviews saying to only put a very thin layer of Arctic Silver 3 between my heatsink and CPU, I ended up putting on a layer too thin. My non-overclocked P4 2.0A was 67°C under load! I fixed it up a bit now, it's reading 56°C at the moment (overclocked to 2.26GHz). Still seems a bit high, but then I'm using a Zalman heatsink, so it's supposed to be quiet, not cool.
At least my computer isn't as loud anymore. The only thing making noise now is the Northbridge fan, and it's driving me nuts!
