2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU TEMP 90c Too high?

Question

Hi I have a mac mini (mid 2011)  spec:
Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
22" + 17" monitors
and my CPU temp is around the 85c to 90c degree. Is this normal? Currently just surfing the net, and i think its making my mouse loss connections sometimes.
thanks for your help guys,

If you are in fact only surfing web and don't have a myriad
of background apps running, then 85 to 90C is in fact to
hot.
I have a new Mac Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt
Display and have been surfing for a couple of hours and
have a CPU temp of 47C and fan at ~2300 RPM. 
(Note: room temp is 21C)
If your Mini is running that hot, the fans should be roaring!
What is your fan speed?
BTW, the only time I hit temps like that is when I am using
Handbrake to do video conversions, which will max out all
cores available.  The fan gets up to ~4500-4800 RPM.
The only time the Mini should get that hot is if you have
something running that will max out CPU usage.  Check
activity monitor to see if there is some process that is
"running away" and forcing CPU to max out.
If the fan is not working properly, you may need to do
an SMC reset.  If it is not working at all, get it fixed.
So, in conclusion, light CPU usage should not make the
Mini that hot!
