he is. this is the same sytem as this one http://www.pchelpforum.com/processor-cpu/41472-celeron-d-temps.html,
which had cooling problems. the cooler in question is the one he bought from CDW to help lower his CPU Temps. Though i have to say it seems like you just got a very hot Celly D

Thank you, AW. I didn't bother to check his previous posts and he didn't have a "My PC" drop-down in his posts. That's a lesson for me!

Yes its the same PC. I just thought it couldn't hurt to put the motherboard into a bigger case with more air flow so I did. CDW was out of stock so I baught it from FRYS electronics. I'll go back tomorrow and return it. According to cpuid from cpuid.com it is a celeron D 346 3.06ghz 64bit. But 67 is the cuttoff according to Intel so 55-60c is a bit high even after using XP for half an hour.

So I'll go back to Frys tomorrow or day after and shop for a new cooler.

Thanka,
