Am I going to smoke my 955BE?

[recover]

I am wondering if I need to get a cooler for my CPU (Phenom II x4 955 BE) or maybe re-apply some paste. Right now I am running the stock cooler and I am getting the following:

Room temp: 26.7C

Via Core Temp-

Idle: 41C
Prime95: 66C (I reached this after 15 minutes of running prime, got nervous and stopped running it)

This is bad right??!

figures....looks like my answer is a new cooler. Clearly i did a poor job of searching.

for sure get a new cooler but the stock one is decent when running stock clocks and voltage...I think you may just need to reseat and reapply some TIM...If you dont want to spend anymore money

Those temperatures seem pretty average. About the same as I get.

I live in Southern California, room temps are often 68-75

idle i get 33-34 with Cool N Quiet
during game load i rarely hit 50.

prime... mid 50's? somewhere around there.

Oh running 955 with hyper 212+ in a fractal r3

went with a hyper 212+ ....hopefully i can get these temps down and get a few more clocks out of it. Thanks.
