What kind of board do you have? This is probably a key detail

Yes temperature is way to high. Suggestions :
1) clean old thermal grease by alcohol and apply new. Arctic Ceramique is what I recommend.
2) clean heatsink from a dust

If you take the heatsink off, you have to replace the grease. It's not a bad idea if your machine is a little older. The "grease" is merely metal or ceramic pieces mashed up into a moisture mixture. It can, and does, dry out over time. The use of the machine will dictate when you should check the grease. Most of the time it is never an issue.
