Yes, like stated above it is not over the top temperature but is "kind of" hot for an "idle" temperature and your cooler should be doing a better job. Have you recently reassembled your build? See if the cooler is fitted too tight or too loose. Make sure the cooler is not filled with dust and finally, use a new thermal paste (be careful with the amount applied and make sure you clean both the surface properly with the right material prior) and again fit it to the right pressure.
