CPU Temps Too High

Uhm, so lately i've been having problems with my PC and I just noticed my CPU was running idle at 60*C.

I opened up CPU-Z, saw the core speed it was at 3335 mhz.
Now, I remember, 3-4 months ago I had messed up with some BIOS multiplier thingy to get my cpu overclocked, and I think that is the issue.

So yeah, all I want to know is how to get my CPU back to the original settings. I mean the normal multiplier and core speed. I've ordered thermal paste for the heatsink already.
Thank you :)

Here's a picture of CPU-Z: http://imgur.com/vWDoF62

I mostly play League of Legends, and like 20-30m in the game the game starts freezing and leads to permanent freeze.

 
Solution
Have a look at this link:

Intel DH55TC Manual

Look at pages 49 and 50. This tells you how reset the BIOS. If you look at the table you need to move the jumper to Configure and then enter the BIOS. Make sure to read the warning above about shutting down before moving the jumper. After moving the jumper and powering up, the system should enter the Setup in Maintenance mode. From there you should have the option to hit F9 which will restore the defaults.

I unselected the answer for you.

I did the reset and it worked.
now in cpu-z, the multiplier is changing itself, I mean it's showing 9, 15 and 23 and varying cpu speed for the same. Is this normal? And the core voltage is 0.932V.
 
Yes that is normal, it's called Intel Speedstep and it adjusts based on load. If the CPU isn't being used it will lower the voltage and multiplier to save power. If you start an application that stresses your CPU, it will raise the multi and the voltage to "full" speed to maintain performance.
