Do what Sean did; stick your hand in it when it is running. OK, really, replace it as you said earlier.

ok looked on the net and my cpu temp seems about right

Intel Pentium D (dual core)

Pentium D 820 (2.8GHz) 63°C
Pentium D 830 and 840 (3.0-3.2GHz) 69.8°C

It recommends adding a second case fan, i have room for one but will it make any diffrence on the CPU temp? plus it will be more noise
