Seems like the processor heatsink is having a hard time exhausting the hot air because of dust blocking it, time to clean it. | My System Specs | | OS Microsoft Windows 8 Professional CPU AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor Motherboard ECS A790GXM-AD3 Memory 16.00 GB Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB Sound Card (1) C-Media PCI Audio Device (2) AMD HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays LG LS192WS Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 @ 32bit color Keyboard Dell SK-8115 Mouse Razer Copperhead PSU Corsair HX620 Case Thermaltake V4 Black Edition Cooling Cooler Master Hyper 212 + Artic Silver 3 on CPU/GPU Hard Drives (1) ST31000524AS SATA Disk Device (2) ST3500413AS SATA Disk Device AHCI mode enabled. |

I did a double-take on those before noticing the "°F"  but yes, the CPU heatsink seems like it could do with a de-dust. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number CreepinJesus Mk.

Disassembling it gives the best results, but is trickier. Find a service/disassembly manual for your laptop.
DO NOT remove the heatsink from the CPU.
Also, drag the computer outside before cleaning, as you're going to raise a dust storm, and you don't want that in your home. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number custom built OS Win 7 Pro 64-bit 7601 CPU AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core (a revision without the bug) Motherboard ASUS M4A78 Memory 4,00 GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Fujitsu Siemens P19-3P Screen Resolution 1280 x 1024 x 32 bits @ 60 Hz Oh yeah, 4:3 rocks!

The CPU seems to be fairly hot, have you tried removing any dust from the heatsinks and vents?
Another point to add, if you are using a laptop, then get yourself a cooling pad and raise the back of the laptop a few CM from the surface of whatever you are using to create a better flow of cool air. SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
SpeedFan will allow you to monitor your fan speeds, to see if any of the fan blades are being disrupted due to a build-up of dust and other debris. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dm1 Notebook PC OS Windows 7 Home Premium x86 Service Pack 1 - Linux Mint Mate 14 x64 CPU AMD E-450 APU (64-Bit) @ 1.65GHz Dual-Core Motherboard HP 3387 36.0A (Socket FT1) Memory 4GB DDR3 @ 676MHz Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics Sound Card Beats Audio - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Monitor(s) Displays LCD HP Monitor Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 @ 60Hz Keyboard Standard PS/2 Keyboard Mouse Synaptics TouchPad V 7.5/Logitech USB Wireless PSU Microsoft Composite Battery - ACPI Case HP Cooling HP Cool Sense Hard Drives 500GB - SATA Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 Internet Speed 24.0 Mbps Antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials Browser Opera Other Info NIC - Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter

Is that for a laptop or a desktop?
If it's a desktop, they are a bit high and probably indicates problems in coolers or excessive heat or ventilation failures.
If it's a notebook, those are used to higher temperatures due to their natural lack of ventilation, so I would be cautious and keep an eye, but not alarmed as they normally rise temperatures to those extents.
In any case, while a bit high, they're still far from damaging the CPU and well within the operative range, as long as they don't rise any further. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Sattelite A665-S6092 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Core i7-740QM Memory 8 GB DDR3 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 330GT Screen Resolution 1366x768 Cooling Coolermaster Notepal U3 notebook cooling pad Hard Drives Samsung 840 SSD 500GB

Most laptops run their fans as slow as possible to save battery power. The end result is that it's typical for laptops to run their CPU's at 70C to 80C, even the "fruity" laptops that you pay a $1,000 tax to have the magic glowing emblem on the back run at that temperature. My HP Envy 17 is actually an exception to that general rule, it usually runs its CPU at 40C and I rarely hear the fans.
Oh, converting to non-standard American measurements, that's around 160F-180F for typical laptops and mine is running around 105F but is very atypical -- I've never before owned a laptop that ran its processor this cool. I think it's because the ventilation system on the Envy 17 was designed for much hotter processor than the Sandy Bridge that's in mine, Sandy Bridge sips power compared to earlier high-end I7's. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Envy 17 OS Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit CPU Intel Core i7-3720QM 2.6Ghz Motherboard Ivy Bridge Memory 16GB Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 7850M Monitor(s) Displays 27" Samsung Screen Resolution 1080p Keyboard Logitech K750 Solar Mouse Logitech Anywhere MX Darkfield Hard Drives 160GB SSD C:
