Temp of what ?

WAYYYY too hot. CPU thermal limits are around ~100.
It will start throttling back before that.My i5 over clocked to 4.2Ghz with no case fans and i80 watercooling maxes out at ~60c with Prime95 trying to destroy the PC. Idles around 38. Should be lower, but like I said, no case fans and due to the pump cables it actually slightly tilts the heatsink so covers ~80% of the CPU die. It's been fine for 3 years so I don't care any more
It's possible that your thermal paste is screwed, or there's still a plastic film on the bottom of the cooler. Double check that, reseat heatsink, make sure fans actually running
