Is that load or idle?, either way that hot.
Reseat the hitsink to make sure it make good contact, also apply new thermal paste if needed.
Touch the heatsink to see if its hot, if its not it might be just the board reporting wrong temps.

Thats way to hot for that cpu.

As already noted, a good way to confirm or deny the temps you get is touching the base of the cpu heat sink. My XP 3000 in an Asus A7N8X-X is often "56 Celcius"at idle, and up to 60-61 at only a moderate load. But at the indicated "56", the heat sink is literally cool to the touch, so the sensor is apparently inaccurate. At the 60 Celcius point, the heat sink base (it's a Vantec AeroFlow TMD) is only starting to feel "somewhat" warm, even held cupped in my hand (being careful I don't get my thumb in the fan, of course).

Get a couple of different diagnostic type programs and see if all agree on the temps. You may be able to borrow a surface temperature thermometer to hold against the heat sink as an additional confirm/deny option. Assuming it is running that hot, something is wrong, such as too much/ too little thermal grease, poorly seated HSF, inadequate HSF, etc.

That sounds way too hot. I've got mine running at about 30C idle, highest I've ever seen at full load is like 41-42C. I would definitely make sure that the heatsink is properly seated and has a new layer of AS5 or an equivalent. If you are using the stock cooling, you may want to bump up to something a little better. When I bought my xp2700 every site I looked at said the stock HS probably wasn't sufficient.
