Hi everyone,

It's summer up here, and so my processor's getting hot again. I have one of 'em Intel Hyperthreading p4 Prescott's who are notoriously hot P4's. Anyway, I got a pretty good 38mm Scythe fan for it and at 3000 rpm from a case duct I can still barely keep it under 57°C. I could push my fan to the limit, but then it makes a racket. So anyway, I guess I'll live, but it is annoying.

Any of you have hot CPU's? What's "too hot" for your processor? And how much should one care?
