Looks to me the threshold is about 70 C but it seems to max out at 92 C in the last month, 90 seems excessive but 70 doesn't sound too bad, how can I adjust the thresholds?<br>

Any time you hit full CPU load for any extended period, your processor overheats. It spikes up over 90C and starts throttling itself. You need to get those temperatures down. Clean out and re-seat your existing heatsink. Buy more case fans to keep the ambient temperature down. Buy a new, better, aftermarket heatsink. Buy a modern processor and throw that P4 away.<br>
<br>
You need to do something physical. Changing settings in software isn't going to do a damn bit of good.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

<br>I'll try reapplying the thermal paste and reseating the heatsink and failing that I'll look at getting an aftermarket heatsink and possibly some more fans at the front of the Silverstone LC-16M case<br><br>Thanks for your help and suggestions.<br>
