can some 1 help me out
 
Seems pretty toasty. My X2 4600+ is running at 30C and 37C on a stock cooler, case temp at 31C.

Maybe you have poor air flow /ventilation and the hot air in your case can't escape? either that or badly seated heatsink, knackered fan, not enough or too much thermal compound.
 
First, make sure that you have intake and exhaust fans running (I ran one the wrong direction once and had some issues). Next, if you are using a stock CPU cooler, toss it. Buy something like a Zalman that has good specs. Also, thermal compound is a must.

The stock cooler should be fine, something else is wrong unless his cooler is on it's last legs.
 
i have i thermaltake and all my fans r runing the right way

whut can i use as termal past
if theres no house hold iteam where can i buy it at like a store
 
the stock cooler should have come with a cheap wad of it (the gummy grey stuff on the bottom of the heatsink). If you have a local computer shop, they should have thermal grease. If not, newegg and tigerdirect have it. You only need a dab, but it makes a huge difference in temperature. The problem with thermal grease, including the stock stuff, is that if you move the heatsink, you have to scrape it off and put on more. If you have moved the heatsink, that is most likely your problem.

Cheap thermal paste should be liquidy white stuff...

GetArctic Silver 5, on ebay or newegg.
Get an Aftermarket Coppercore/full copper heatsink with at least 30CFM.
Make an exhaust fan on top and an intake fan on bottom since heat goes up.
Get an expansion slot exhaust/intake
Get a bay cooler.
Get an bay exhaust (its a blue thing in a 51/4 bay that pulls huge amounts of CFM)
