I asked a few tech guys at my local PC store and they said for C2D (assuming you have one) that idling at 60 C is fine, but anything above 65C-75C is a bit too hot. He says you shouldn't worry about it unless your computer is acting all wonky.
a C2D should run much cooler than most cpu's, I had a Pentium D 960 that ran about that hot, but when I got my E6700, it runs in the 20-30 range under load with water cooling, no more than 50 on air. 76 is way too hot, get a better cooler, Arctic Silver 5 and clean your dust
