The only reason this would happen is if the cooler is not making contact with the cpu. Make sure it is mounted properly.
Read instructions, how to reset Intel stock cpu cooler.
If it is not reset properly after removal/re-installation, then there will be improper contact between cooler and cpu.

Better option would be getting aftermarket cooler - like CM Hyper 212 Evo - for example. It will run quieter and cool better.
I'm sure the cooler is installed properly. I was install it wrong before and it was 80 degrees idle. Now I put it on properly, it is no more than 50 degrees idle.
