Regardless of which readings are correct, your CPU temperature is too high.
Addressing heat issues requires a thorough analysis, and to get help, you'll
need to provide a *lot* more information. For example:

Hardware details? (CPU, case, # and types of drives, fan setup, etc.)
Room, case and CPU temperatures at idle and under full load. There are many
possible reasons why your CPU temperature is too high, and changing your HSF
may not help if the rest of your setup is flawed.

Looks like you're in the safe range, now, indicating that your case airflow,
etc. is OK.
Out of curiosity, what CPU do you have? I'd be interested to know who is
supplying such poor HSF's with their CPU's.

You sure you put that thing together right???
peeled off the plastic before applying Thermal Compound in a nice thin even
layer??
Clamped it down good and proper...opposite ends...bit at a time???

Maybe you could give us a few more details..Case? Motherboard? Fans? how
many and where?
How hot is it where you live??

You need a thermally advantaged case or something similar. You have
insufficient cooling and could easily take advantage of four to five 80mm
fans.

Does that mean that the OP's current case is "thermally challenged" or
is the correct term "thermally disadvantaged"?

I like to keep up with the current/correct lingo.

Had the same heating problem with my Q6600 CPU which also operated between
70-72 celcius. Supplier changed it for a new one. Now running in early 40
celcius. Using fan that came iwth the CPU on a Gigabyte mobo and Vista
Ultimate SP1.

And what do you think causes your Video Card to fail when its working the
hardest...during a game??
It also needs to stay COOL.......
either get a new Case with proper Air Flow management or try to find a way
to increase airflow thru your present case..
