I dunno xactly upto wat the Celeron temp reaches !! But I have Pentium 4 HT 2.6 GHz (Northwood) and its temp. remains @ around 48-53 degrees after prolonged usage!!!!

i think the contact betweeen the core and the heatsink is not good u do ont thing reinstall ur processor and try to clean the fan and the heatsink and the fan with a mild clth hey but not processor

and apply some thermal paste on the core

and one thing more there are proper videos how to do that try downloading that and watching them it will help u a lot they are available on the manufacturers website and wear ur anti static wrist wrap or u will leave it unusable

Thanks,
But I've buy a new fan heat sink by using it the tem remains to 55 C if using Intel's original fan and heatsink then temp remains at 60 C.
