how is the flatness of your cpu. Place a straight edge perfectly flat to the base. Shine a bright light behind it. You should see the light peaking through any gaps.
Backside of a knife works, razar blade, ruler(metal one)
If you don't see a noticeable gap then i would like to ask what cpu cooler are you using.
Is your case internals messy and obstructive to the airflow?
it doesn't seem like your temps are crazy abnormal. But give us and update once you tried the above steps. You may need to lap if the cpu is really convex/concave.
Or you might have gotten a bad cpu
