This is indicative that either your temperature measurement is faulty (unlikely) or that the heatsink has poor thermal contact with the processor (more likely). > Anyway, it looks like I will have to pursue extra cooling, when I > have the time. Thanks for everyone's input. I suggest you get some good heat conductive paste and try reseating your heatsink. My processor runs about 48 degrees Celsius when running mprime, and I use a stock heatsink.
