You were exactly right.
I did install a new all copper cooling fan rated for the 3.2 gHz processor.
However, even with this fan, the CPU temp jumps up to 80+ C within a few
seconds.
Guess I'm going shopping for the latest and greatest HSF.

Ah, you obviously got a brand new super hot Prescott. You probably received
a boxed cooler with it, I recommend you use it. Also make sure you use the
thermal paste you received with the procesor as well because it's of a much
higher quality than the stuff you get with other HSFs.

You would have been better of with an AMD CPU.
