thanks. and do u have any idea on why my temps are so?

If you did not completely remove the heat-sink/fan unit.
Clean both CPU and heat-sink surfaces of all traces of old TIM. (i use Isopropyl alcohol)
Apply new TIM and correctly seat.

You will have poor heat transfer resulting in higher than normal temps.
