As I see it your temps are a bit warm for your CPU, not bad, but warm. First thing I would check is to see if your HS is on correctly, and not leaving a gap between the CPU core and HS.

When you applied the thermal paste, did you use just a little bit. Just enough to cover the core with a little thin layer, too much can cause a worse heat transfer.

Are you using a shim (Spacer) between the CPU and the HS? If so, I would recommend taking that off. Shims are good only if the thickness is pretty much exact. If it's too large, it can cause the HS to not touch the CPU core. I have heard of more problems then what they are worth.

Now regarding the fans... Do you have the fans set up in a way that there is no dead air? What I mean is all the air moving in the case. Dead air can cause your temps to be a bit warm.

And about the temp again, you are fine, but the lower you can get it the more potential there is for a longer life.

Good luck,
Lucky
