60c under load? I dunno what's normal for that proc, but 60c under load is not dangerous. Just to be safe, what noise is the fan making? If it's making a high pitched squeal or clattering sound the fan could be on it's way out. If it just sounds louder/more intense it's normal.
Better thermal compound has the capability of lowering temps, but not a whole lot. A couple points at most I'd say.
