I would call those temps high, but not unreasonable. Did you try reseating the heatsink with some new thermal compound yet? Even with the stock fan (which I personally dislike very much), I think you can get it a bit cooler. If you were willing to invest in a Zalman 9500, I would guess that your temps would drop 20-25C easily. There is a night and day difference between a full copper, well designed heatsink and the stock ones that ship with the Intel chips.
