Welcome to the PCHF boombastick...i've got the same CPU and it runs at around 30degC...40ish under load (heavy load).

hmmmm....are you overclocking at all?
Dust in the heatsink?

I just use the one that's packaged with the CPU

What case do you have? This could effect the temperature quite alot...also cable management. Do you have cables just everywhere, or are they tucked away, nice and neat?
