Hey
Those temps are not terribly high at all. Check to make sure your case fans are working. Dust off your board if you haven't done so ever before. I am assuming that these are idle temps. You might want to check your CPU temp under load. If it gets to dangerous temps for your model then you should maybe consider re-applying new thermal paste to your CPU cooler and re attached to make sure its getting good contact. But like the previous poster said 43 is not really that high. Its how hot it gets when working hard that you need to worry about.
