Just got my P4 3.2 Prescott and Abit IC7-G working and am worried as my old AMD 2.6 used to run a 50oC and never had and problems the new prescott is running at 60oC and am worring if this is running to hot. As when running the abit fan settings it was testing the fan and the chip overheated and shut down, it is still working fine but very hot.
I know the new Prescott runs hot but though it should run fine as have not overclocked it and am using the intel heatsink and fan. I also have one 80mm fan taking hot air out of the pc case. would the p4 run ok at 60oC or is this dangerously high.
Any recommendation would be great, cheers

Is it 60C idle or under load? If it's idle, that does seem a little too high, even for a Prescott.
If you used the standard thermal pad on your heatsink, consider scraping it off, re-polishing the heatsink and use a more effective heat conducter - something like Arctic Silver 5. While you're there, make sure your heatsink is seated correctly.
