For all our panic stricken AMDork(tm PEngle '01) friends, here is a datapoint on P4 die temperature. Now it's only 1 datapoint and it is from the Inquirer, but it's shows the die temperature both under heavy load and idle. BTW - software is available from Intel to display the current die temp. theinquirer.net A snippet: The P4 system shows the temperature of the CPU, the memory and the firmware hub. Reports of P4s running too hot and incurring a performance hit due to clock throttling seem to be a little exaggerated - on a warm afternoon (ambient temp 22-23C), our 1.7GHz P4 maxes out at 58 degrees when running at 100 per cent utilisation with the UD cancer analysis client. With the UD software stopped, the temperature immediately drops, bottoming out at around 30C. And that's with only two of the four fans in the Cooler Master case connected and using a commendably-silent prototype heatsink from QuietPC. The enormous and weighty standard EKL sink supplied by Intel would probably run a degree or two cooler, but we couldn't face the additional noise, so we left it in the cupboard.
