I Have Just Applied Arctic Silver 5 (barton 2500)

Dont overclock yet...wait till your normal temps are normal. What HS are you using? The stock one doesnt have copper.

Put it back at stock settings for now untill you can get your temps down.

I have 2 case fans in front, and 2 in back, and stock hs with an 80mm fan on it...I dont know why your temps are so high..we have the same CPU...

2 case fans blowing air out, while small desktop fan blowing fresh air in. You said this earlier...What do you mean a small desktop fan? Put 2 good 80mm fans or 120mm fans in there to make sure there is plenty of cold air. Look at the topic I made where we posted the pics of our comps, and look at the upclose of the side on my case. I have a fan at the very bottom left, and then I moved the bracket from the first HDD rack to the second one (closer to the PSU and CPU) so that it is blowing right on it. Try something like that maybe.

Also, what were your steps of applying the AS5?

The new stock HS has a copper insert in the base.

Personally I don't think it is as good as some of the others.
My temp is currently 47C (full load) but only running at 2GHz at the moment as it wasn't completely stable at 2.2GHz.

I've raised Vcore prior to boosting the FSB again, but I really want to get that temp down first.

I'm seriously looking at getting one of those table top freezers.

hmmm the new ones come with a copper insert..mine wasnt copper...it was silver...i duno what its made of lolol.

But i would think his would be better...apparently not lol

i just thought of something...maybe your motherboard is supplying the voltage for your old athlon xp 2000+ (which is 1.75 if you have palamino core) when it should be giving 1.65 which is the normal barton core temp. check in bios or motherboard monitor what the vcore is and report back.

vb said your board reads sensors wrong so maybe your board is reading teh sensor wrong...obviously lol...but it could be reading it higher than it really is.
