Well those temps are always off, could be +- 10 if not more. The prescotts do run relaly hot, i wouldn't worry though. If its not throttling teh cpu your fine.

generally if the Heatsink is cool to touch, its because the heat isnt dispersing onto it, did you put the right amount of Artcis silver 5 on? Maybe a better HSF thats propery lapped on bottom would do the trick..

You can download MBM5 and see the cpu temps
