    Mike, your temps are fine. I run very similar idle, and under load. 80c isn't anything to worry about unless that's an idle temp. Otherwise I sit around 45-55 idle and up to mid 80s under extreme OC situations. Never hit 90c yet.. But 80s is common for me.

    Am just worried that I applied the thermal paste incorrectly. I put in a blob there and then put in the heatsink and screw it according to the numbers like Talon said

    imo on a exposed die it should have been spread evenly. i do not like or recc the blob method on a exposed die. and if it was as5 neither do they

    Agree with Zfactor, it should be spread evenly to make sure every spot is covered. I would suggest you reapply some.

    I know this is off topic. but i did the same for my P4 3.2ghz.
    I placed a couple dots here there and everywhere but i idle at 45. and underload is i think 63.

    but your p4 was not a exposed die. it has a heat spreader. applying a blob in the middle and letting the heat sink spread it is how you are supposed to apply it on a heat spreader style cpu
