A bit hot imo. Reseat the HSF(heatsinkfan) properly and apply some TIM(thermal interface material) or simply thermal paste on the processor after carefully removing the existing TIM using some isopropyl alcohol, easily found near a chemist or pharmacist. Make sure to keep away from the edges of the processor.
After applying paste, reseat the hsf properly and put the locks carefully in place. Then check the temperatures and post here.

For stock settings those are way to high. Where are you located.
It's not OK.It's very hot.It shouldn't go over 80 in my opinion(in our hot and humid country).
Do as vicky said and don't forget clean the heatsink & fan before you refit it.Maybe there's some problem with the temperature readings.Generally,cleaning and resetting the Heatsink and fan will solve the issue.
Maybe it's time to purchase a new cooler for your CPU.

Thanks for ur reply.... once while cleaning my heat sink i cleaned the thermal paste over the processor without knowin it was the thermal paste... Is it due to that?
I'm in chennai... my cabinet is zebronics bijili, front fan air intake, side 2 fans as exhaust and rear 1 fan as exhaust... Is this setup ok??

^^ Yes that is the reason. Thermal paste ensures that the heat sink and processor top surface are in maximum contact for heat transfer. In your case , its not properly in contact with heat sink as you have manually removed the thermal paste.
Apply some good TIM again and your problem will be solved.
Artic silver is a great choice.

thats a great difference after applying TIM, also check ur cabby for better air flow. Good Work
