please help this is getting on my nerves for a while now.

Depends on how long you had your pc. The thermal paste on the cpu cooler may need replacing. Your idle temps is warmer than expected but your load temps are still fine.

For Ivybridge cpu:
3rd Generation 22 Nanometer: 3570K / 3770K (TDP 77W / Idle 4W)

Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) = 67C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) = 72C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) = 105C
