I'm gonna assume you are using the cheap intel cpu cooler that came with the i3. Because if the issue is fan quality than you gotta throw that one out and invest in a $20 cooler. Don't buy a water cooling one cuz it is a waste of money. A $20 cooler will keep your temps in the 40s C at most. Here is a good one:
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4 70.0 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler ($14.99 @ Newegg)

72C is the max temperature.
Maybe you can try re-applying the thermal paste and see if it helps.

Those temps are safe and the stock cooler is keeping the cpu within spec. No real need to get a cooler for it unless your stock cooler is loud and you just want a quieter cooler. 60-65c is safe, 50c is safe. Up to you whether you want to spend on an extra cooler for it but you don't have a heat issue.
