P4 prescott always gets hot

. Clean the psu air vents, fans and cpu heatsinks using a good old fashioned unused paint brush OR can of compressed air ONLY. If that doesnt work, time to change the thermal paste on the heatsink.

^^True. I had P4 3Ghz and it was running 40-45 when idle..Prescotts are known to run hot..

I suggest you use good thermal paste like Arctic Silver 5 or Tuniq TX2
