I was wrong. I read one of your older posts for temps. I'm running 120F right now with the same processor with the internet and a movie running. I also live in southern Mexico where the ambient temps are fairly high. I have the stock fan and heatsink, one fan on an intake tube above the processor, one exhaust fan, and a PSU with a large exhaust fan. Oh, my case is a cheap generic case. It's what is available here.

Are you sure your heatsink is clean of dust and you've got enough, but not too much, thermal paste? I think your temps are too high for nothing to be wrong.
