Prescott Heatsink Burns!

Ok, I got a HP today with a 3.00E GHz. I took off the cover to see that the heatsink is just like mine, 80mm with 80mm fan. Although, it is aluminum. It also had a 92mm case fan blowing on it. When I touch my heatsink at 100% load (+ 33% OC), it feels like room temperature. So I decided to touch this heatsink (CPU Load = 100%). That was one of the biggest mistakes in my life. It was exactly like touching a hot stove. It must have been 100C. And I am not exaggerating! In fact, it left a burnt mark on my finger that I still have right now. In fact, it still hurts.
I wonder what a 3.60E OCed to its highest GHz would feel like?
