I suggest you blame that on the stock cooler. i always make my friends get aftermarket coolers when they build computers, the stock coolers are fine for someone who doesnt want to overclock, since the 60C is still within normal range (right?) but i 100% garuntee that as soon as you put a decent aftermarket cooler on your xeon the idle temps will drop dramatically, and just the same with your load temps, so long as you do a proper job mounting the HSF and doing the TIM properly.
Even for me, going from a Tuniq tower( a decent aftermarket cooler) to a H50, with my OCd Ph 9850 @ 3.1GHz, my load temps dropped 8C.
