Not really. What you stated below might be the case for a low-end computer.
High-end computers are built with the mindset that there will be great demands made of them. Therefore, high-end components/hardware is used. This might be the case if you are running a gaming computer or a media center home theatre type of setup. To make these computers perform under such loads, high quality resilient processors, ram, and motherboards etc are used. In the past I have launched as many applications as possible and I've let my computer run at over 70 degrees with over 60% of my quad core processor running. I felt no performance hit at all. When running a DVD movie I heard no impact on the audio and there was no flickering on the screen. Just think of most average low-end computers such as Dell, HP, and Gateway as Toyotas and act accordingly as you would not want to run these kinds of cars at over 100 MPH on a regular basis. They can run like this, but they are not constructed to do this so in no time at all you will have problems if you run them hard. In short, Kim sing, if you purchased your computer from Dell and such, and if you do not start switching out parts, and if you don't change the structure of the computer, you should be just fine. In all honesty, you really don't need Core Temp and such as you're probably not going to be modifying your fans or tweaking your processor and need to check for abnormalities in temps. Right now I'm running my QuadCore with the following temps: 55 degrees, 52 degrees, 58 degrees, and 53 degrees. I've been running like this for months now.

Check the specs for your computer. It should list the maximum safe operating temperature. In general, processor temperatures that exceed 60 degrees C are considered unsafe, and most PC's will shut down if the processor temperature approaches 75 degrees C. So it looks like your PC is operating at a safe temperature.
