But 50/60% only for kded or total usage ?! 
I'm asking this because 70C with CPU at 50/60% is too high for me..

I still think is too much. With my old athlon XP2800 overclocked, I 
reach 66C (in summer) after playing doom3 for few hours..
Try doom or something similar and see what happens..
Rebuilding the kernel (on another big software..) is another possible 
test..

I dont know what to say, P4 CPUs heat like a nuclear plant. So all is 
possible..

Sorry, I don't know but follow my advice, change heat sink and/or fans..
Bye.
