Agreed - that's 60 C at idle - and I bet that under load it's pushing 70 or more - which is inviting instability. The case temp converts to 30 C which is fine - so my bet is on the CPU heatsink/fan being improperly installed or woefully inadequate. At that case temp I would expect to see the CPU idle at no more than 45.
