I have assembled a PC with Intel 945 nt motherboard and a Intel 3.0Ghz HT processor.
When I see the processor temp it shows me 50-60 value as soon as i turn on the machine.
I think its too high.. isnt it?
Does anyone know why is it?

50-60 at start-up is too much .. and it can go past 75 on load then ...
there isn't adequate cooling .. it could mean that the heatsink is inefficient .. could be the thermal interface material inbetween the heatsink and processor .. try cleaning and reapplying ...
see if your cpu fan is working well .. should be atleast 3000 rpm on a stock fan ...
maybe your heatsink is too dusty .. if so clean it ...
add case fans if all of the above is in good shape...
last but not least .. i hope the temperature sensor is not gone bad .. shut off ur machine and touch the heatsink and see if it is hot enough .. u can even pull off the heatsink and touch the surface of the processor to see if it is indeed hot ..
it would have cooled down to certain extent, by the time you get the heatsink off.. but still it would give an idea of whether it was indeed piping hot ... be warned, don't switch on ur comp without the heatsink n fan on ...

possibly you may deploy yet another fan interior the computing gadget (2 followers), or a have a tech deploy a miles better warmth sink on the processor. Like Gian_Cen pronounced your fan would have stopped working additionally, you'll be waiting to word that actual because of means of listening or finding with the conceal off. Your computing gadget equipment is familiar with the temperature that your CPU could run at, if it tells you that the CPU is warm, it fairly is warm. The CPU's circuit is created from silicone which melts actual at a particular temperature, whilst the computing gadget shuts down is to ward off the melting of your CPU. diverse CPUs run at diverse temperatures via fact some CPUs are extra appropriate than others, those that run warmer are of lesser high quality via fact they might soften much less confusing. 50 to fifty six stages celcius is 122 to 138 stages farenheit, thats fairly warm for a CPU.

No I think it is quite normal, because Intel Pentium 4 (3.0 Ghz HT) can work can operate up to 75º C (167º F) or slightly less (i.e. 70º C).
Process Temperature standard criteria:
Processor temperatures may varies in temperature, depending on thier Core Voltage, Vmax, Max. Core Amp., Thermal Design Power, Est. Max Power Diss., Max. Cover Temp.
But for your own satisfaction provide additional cooler.

That's normal for a Pentium4 PresHOT, or Prescott. Many users just turn off the HT feature because it wastes a lot of electricity (turns to heat). Or you could try mounting a better cooling solution like the Thermalright Ultra 90 or 120 or Scythe's Infinity or the Ninja.

This is normal for a Pentium 4 CPU in summer time, usually the fan automatically spins faster to cool it down. If you're intending to overclock or run for long hours I suggest visiting a computer store will do, they sell custom cooler that cools better than Intel stock cooler.

Remove Fan and heatsink and put thermal grease on processor and install the fan and heatsink. If there is a problem it could be that the heatsink is not 100% seated properly and the grease will ensure good contact and heat transfer..

well my AMD runs at about 40, but intels are different
if you think its too high replace your fan
