it is a netburst...
anyway is 60-75 the idle/medium load/full load temp? are you using the stock fan?
it might be just your heatsink and fan need cleaning or they are incorectly mounted, clean the heatsink and fan and remount it then check the temperture again, if it stays the same, then its just the cooler not being able to cope with the heat and you can either put up with it since its not too bad or get a better one (not recommended as you may as well look for a new computer)
