    I dealt with a P4 PC recently that was overheating (70-80 degrees). I found when I took the heatsink off that whichever gimp had built it didn't use any thermal compound :lol:

    It's relatively easy, just make sure you line the processor up right to go in the slot (it'll only go in one way, look for the end that has a pin missing at either corner and line it up with the corresponding missing pins on the board).

    After that pop some thermal compound on the top and make sure you put the fan back on nice and tight.

    And you're laughing :up:
