^^That's definitely too high. You might want to check if the heatsink fan is running properly. And also clean up all the dust settled in the heatsink fan. And you'll need to apply thermal paste. Here is a comprehensive guide on thermal paste:- *www.techpowerup.com/printarticle.php?id=134

my heat sink fan is running properlly,when i boot my system,cpu temp is around 60 degres and fan speed 1200 rpm and its go up to 1800 rpm when temp reched up 80 to 85 degres.

my system is just 20 mere days old,so its no dust there. infact fan and heat sink quite clean.
