People keep listing these low CPU temps makes me wonder if something is wrong with my stock cooler. My i7, with no overclocking runs in the high 70s to low 80s. Mayb its time for a CPU cooler

It depends on the CPU. The Phenom II 1055T has 62 or 71 C as the maximum temperature depending on the specific model (though it would work at higher temperatures, safety margins and all).
A friend of mine had an older AMD CPU which may have been running at 90 C or more for quite a while and it didn't break, though I wouldn't recommend that...
I don't know what is your specific model, but for example an i7 920 lists 67.9 C:

Mine is the i7-950, But it lists the same temperature as the one you specified. So I am guessing I should get this looked into. Maybe there is something wrong with how the stock cooler is resting on it or something and there is no heat transfer and thus no heat dissapation. And It does get loud when I test it.

If you can't find out the reason (no dust on the cooler, CPU fan working, case exhaust fan working and pointing out), it might just be a faulty temperature sensor...

Ok, it turns out that one of the spring loaded plastic pins that hold on the Stock CPU Cooler is busted and not holding it tightly to the CPU. So I ordered an after market CPU cooler, should be here tomorrow.
