Worried about CPU temps

I'm worried about my AMD's idle temps. As of the past year, the idle temp has started to rise. When I first got it, it would idle between 89 & 91 Fahrenheit. Then, about a half a year later it was between 94 & 96 F. Taking into consideration the ambient room temps today at 83F it was idling at 105. I've tried 2 different temperature reading devices and both read the same. I've tried cleaning off the cpu and heatsink and re-applying new high end paste and it helps not. I've set the voltage from stock 1.35 to 1.30 and its still up in the 100's. Am I worrying too much?

Thanks
 
Stop worrying. Your room temps have risen; any cpu will run hotter in a warmer room. Use your a/c if you're worried. Those cpus will run fine up to about 60c. If they're overheating, you'll get windows bluescreens or lockups.
 
Using CPU hardware monitor on my FX60 reads:

core #0 98F
core #1 85F

can that be?

yeah, i mean, that's what it says but why are they so drastically different?
