My CPU has 55 °C (131 °F) at desktop, ingame its 65 - 70 °C (1xx°F) Is it too hot for a Pentium 4 CPU? I bought a cooler for 60$ and it has gone down only few °C and °F Gnaah sorry for my crappy english again ... --------------------

I don't know how to use paste properly, so far i just put it on the cpu and tried to get it at every place on it. I will look out for the Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste thanks! Edit: I've bought Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste now, could you explain me how to use it? got it off ebay so no manual i guess.
