Is that under normal use or heavy benchmarking? You can try lowering the core voltage, you can usually (not always) do this from the bios, but I suggest contacting HP and asking them if you can RMA it.

What are you using to measure the temperature?

Get a second opinion. Download something like CoreTemp. Then it is time to talk to HP.

notebook CPUs are designed to run at very high temps

My VAIO also has a Core 2 Duo and occasionally gets up into the mid 80's Laptop CPU's dont have luxury of plenty if empty space for air circulation like a normal PC does.

just an after thought - where do you use your notebook ? there are several vents and grills on modern laptops - including the underside. If you use it on your lap (ermmm thats why they are called laptops) then you may be unknowingly restricting air flow
