Download and install Everest. Run system stability test watching the various temperatures.
If motherboard temperature rises with the test by more than 20-30 c it has a problem.Otherwise do nothing.

@OP:

Please could you answer the following:

1. Where you live - city.
2. How did you get those temperature readings.
3. What is the CPU processor number.
4. Exact configuration of your chassis fans. Which is pull and which is pull.

Processor temp does come down fast after stopping the test.So nothing to worry about.
My processor temperature was reaching 100 c. I am getting my processor replaced as it is under warranty.
