well for your chip is normal as you know the pentium series before C2D, the chipset generates a lot of heats...when you just start the pc the temp is around 50+..to reduce the heat try improve the air flow of the casing and if you have the cash to spare get a better heatsink..

oh yeah..if your heatsink is dusty GO CLEAN IT!!
