From the Gadgets forum.......
We also have an Athlon XP 1700+/ASUS AMD 760 motherboard. If it comforts you any, cpu temp goes up to 56C (A/C is off) within a couple minutes of turning the pc on.
I may be wrong on this, so please someone correct me. But, I've always thought that the Sempron 2200+ is based off the Athlon XP and we all know the Athlon XP is a hot-running cpu. I was glad to upgrade to the cooler-running Athlon 64's.
You're going to have to apply some smart cooling techniques to cool off an AthlonXP/Sempron. My Athlon XP 1700+ ran fine although we did get a better case (an Antec) with some chassis cooling fans.

1. If you haven't organized your cables yet, now's a good time to do so. You can use cable ties, which are cheap and readily available.
2. Check the base of the heatsink if it's even and has good contact with the processor's core or IHS.
3. Make sure that you don't apply too much thermal grease.
HTH.

What Sempron revision do you have? There are Athlon 64 and Athlon XP derivatives of Sempron and the latter tend to run hotter. However, motherboard themselves do not consistently read temps accurately and they could report inconsistencies.
A 5000+rpm 70mm+ fan with a good block of an aluminum or copper heatsink are needed to cool off an XP based Sempron and a 5000+rpm 60mm+ fan for the Athlon 64 "Venice" ones. Fan on the CPU should be blowing air towards the heatsink. If you have an exhaust fan, there should be an intake in order to avoid creating a vacuum.
My Athlon 64 "Venice" 3200 2.0ghz runs with its stock cooler and it barely reaches 42 degrees.

It's not hard to rearrange cables and improve the airflow in the case. It would be good practice to have intake and exhaust fans take advantage of the improved air flow.
My PC (Aspire X-Cruiser) case with additional 120mm rear exhaust and 80mm cpu intake fan.

nung tinangal ko, may thermal paste na kasi,e... ung white thingy... is it the same sa thermal grease?

yes the white stuff is thermal paste/grease, not a long-term solution for exposed-die CPUs, it gets pumped out over time and your temps go up.
long-term solution is PCM (phase change material) like those pink gummy stuff under a new heatsink. but if you don't have this grease will do but change it every few months or so...

IIRC they're with AVID. The reported numbers in the TG article are from CAMPI.
