I have a Intel Pentium E5400 and its running at high temperatures idle is it supposed to do that?

And if its too high how can i fix that?

Thermal paste definitely matters, if there isn't any between the CPU and and heatsink you want to get some on there, shouldn't set you back more than £5-£10. May be worth investing a couple of extra £/$'s and getting some cleaning fluid and cloth to clean prior, depending on how bad it looks under there.
