CPU Temp issue

My i7-870 idles at about 37-40C, however, when I open a game such as Black Ops, the temperatures skyrocket. I can experience temps around 85C+. I'm relatively new to troubleshooting this kind of stuff, and I've done my fair share of researching, but haven't found anything terribly useful. My idle temp seems to be right around normal, but i'm unsure as to why it gets so hot. I have a Scythe SCSMZ-2000 heatsink, but I really didn't notice much difference except for a couple degrees when I swapped it with the stock intel heatink and reapplied thermal paste. Any suggestions would be great!

Should also mention I turned off Turboboost so i'm running at 2.9ghz and temps drop to upper 60s lower 70s, still high though
