New build HIGH temps?

Hi,

Ive just finished my new build, but i think my temps are a little on the high side. Please could you guys give me some advice, or are these temps ok?

Spec,
Intel bad axe 2
E6700
Tunqi tower 120
4gb ram
corsair 520w
8800gts oc

The CPU is on stock volts and is running at 3.2ghz. (Idle 38, and when running orthos the temps are around 68/70

Thanks

Volts are 1.213v thats what cpuz is showing. My friend put the thermal paste on, he know's what hes doing so there should'nt be a problem there. The cooler is a right pain to re-seat. I just dont understand the sudden jump from 37c to 68c :S

Hmm, this is a little stange. When im in BIOS the load temp is 47c. ONLY when i run orthos the temp goes mad..

I was told by a friend that bios runs the cpu at 100%. Odviously NOT.
