That's seems normal. What a alot builders seem to forget even though the cpu HSF is doing its job, you really need to consider *exhausting* all that case heat to vent outside as well vent new air in to help cool. So, does your system case have extra fan(s) to do this, as later on when dust bunnies and all those goodies build heat up in the case, it takes it toll. Plus, make sure the bios overtemp setting in ON and does the required action, like reboot or shutdown. The AMD cpu is prone to heat damage in short order.
