your temps are well within tolerance, dont forget the 2.5 has 20% more wattage(more heat), and requires slightly more voltage.. i would say your temps are actually good.
if you want you can rub the aluminum block w/ some 500A and then 600 A 3-M emery paper to take some ridges out of the block. that might drop you a degree .
from what ive read, 2.9 is the average for this chip.

when the overclockers 'data base' has postings for your chip, dont believe everything you read there.
