Default is my cpu overheating? and why?

Hi

I have just setup my new build

My CPU seems to be 60 to 80 celcius?

I have installed the cpu and heatsink and fan, the fan is going at 3400rpm

when i boot up and go to bios it says cpu at 72 celcius , it then comes down to 60, same with the pc probe in windows. after playing a game for 5 mins it is at 82 celcius. is this dangerous for my cpu? the heatsink had paste on, i removed the plastic film and placed it on the cpu and pushed the pins down correctly.
