I went to AMD's web site and watched video on installing the CPU.  I
then took it off the motherboard and reaplied the thermal compound. 
The temperature has dropped from 167 degrees F to 102 degrees F.

Evidently, I had not applied the thermal compound properly the first time.

Thanks to all who answered my question.
