Yes, it's fairly normal..you can get ATI tool and use it to control the speed of the fan.

You can set it to run 100%, auto maintain a certain temp, or adjust the fan speed % dynamicaly according to a temperature profile you set up.

Just go into properties and select fan in the drop down box, you can probably figure out the rest!

EDIT: Using some AS-5 instead of the stock paste will also drop the temps a few degrees...
