Is that with the system idle? Seems rather on the hot side if so, though I've got no direct experience of Phenoms. How hot does it get if you run Prime95? If it gets into the high 70s (degC), I'd try refitting the heatsink with some fresh thermal compound applied in a nice, thin layer. If it's still hot after that, then you might want to consider an upgrade to a better heatsink. I'd consider this a must if you're going to try any overclocking. Arctic Cooling and Xigmatek are both decent brands if you're after something not too expensive.
