Is this normal? What is the max/norm for core 2 duo temperatures?

Norm is about what you have-- max is 85C
All the hardware/OC sites say to use Core Temp--
Core Temp
sensors are not 100% accurate-- and neither is software.
It's a guide. Nothing to panic over.
You could consider adding a better CPU cooler-- and/or case fans-- to bring temps down.
