Yea. The thing has more transistors than a P4 (about 20% more) and runs at 200MHz. It damn well be hot, or I'd think that something was broken

My Asus V8200 has a hardware monitoring chip which reads:

Core chip temp.=122/50 degrees
Memory chip temp.=95/35 degrees

Is you have some way of measuring those should be average.

Its an nvidia chipset, what else to expect? seriously..

Perhaps you should invest in some case cooling or some video card cooling.
