New MOBO/CPU-CPU Overheating?

So I upgraded to an i5-3550 LGA 1155 and P8Z77-V Pro with 2x4gb VENGEANCE for RAM. Also put in an SSD and wanted to do a fresh install of win 7 64-bit.

On first boot, the fans all started spinning but the MemOK! button was lit up for a while, then it shut down. I held the MemOK! button and it did its sequence or whatever, but then shut down. After a few more times, I got it to boot. however, before entering setup it said "CPU Temperature too high" or something thereabouts. When I opened up BIOS, it says the CPU is at 84C. This is... disturbingly high. Also says the CPU fan is at 2096RPM.

I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point... any suggestions?
