My CPU temps are high what should i do ?

My PC started to slow down a bit so, i opened the case removed all the dust inside (this worked for me a lot of times before), but it was the same as before, i used core temp and prime 95, and i saw that the idle temps are around 55 C - 65 C, and 95 C at full load, what should i do?

Should i get any part replaced or what?

Intel Core i5 2400

    Get a good CPU cooler, and if that doesn't drop temps down to under 60 C, get a new case with better cooling.

    The temps ARE at a reasonable rate.

    Make sure you got the dust out of the heat disbursement coil on top of the CPU.

    You could possibly place a better more effective CPU fan or a bigger exhaust fan for the case.

    When your PC shuts down because of high temperatures, then you should be worried.
