Go to the IPKONFIG Site and everything you need is reviewed and referred to, to lower your temp. Some systems go up to 54 degrees, like mine, so your CPU is really are OK.

If your cpu is an AMD one, you should get a good case fan since AMD cpu is known for releasing a lot of heat. Bye

for an XP1700 your temps are within range if you wish to monitor use motherboard monitor 5...you will have to configure it for your specific mobo I would add an intake fan front low and an exhaust fan back high they do not cost much
