No it is not overheating.....Prescott are meant to run hot......their temperature can go up to 75 to 80 when it starts to throttle....and if u want u can add a 120mm fan exhaust and 80mm intake which i am doing it idles at around 48 to 52

I think the temps are fine. The pentium 4's does run at high temps, especially the PRESCOTT. The threshold is 70-75C, correct me if I am wrong.
