Hello folsomgod,
If you can, have a look at the heatsink, It may not be seated correctly or may need cleaning. -------------------- Regards

Get a can of compressed air and stick the nozzle in the laptop vents and try blowing them out

Ok i will attempt the can o' air technique hopefully that will help. But in the meantime do you guys think it would be a good idea to change the fan speeds during system idle? Im not quite sure how to do it but I think that it might help lower the temp a little bit.

You can try using speedfan to increase the speed, but in theory once the CPU is cleaned out you shouldn't need the increased speeds.
