thats WAY hotter than your system should be getting.
I'd open it up and make sure the CPU heatsink isn't full of cathair or something. make sure the airvents aren't blocked when you're using it, too, and that the fan is working.
I would also check that you have CPU freq scaling on (the cpuspeed daemon) - as your system should NEVER get this hot.
