This is indicative that either your temperature measurement
is faulty (unlikely) or that the heatsink has poor thermal
contact with the processor (more likely).

I suggest you get some good heat conductive paste and
try reseating your heatsink.

My processor runs about 48 degrees Celsius when running mprime,
and I use a stock heatsink. (2.7GHz Celeron)
