Yes be worried having your computer at a high temperature like that often can damage your cpu.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That's a normal temperature under a high load, but unless the computer is resting on a soft surface (so it's airflow is restricted) that idle temperature does seem a little on the high side. I'd contact the HP support team to see if there's some sort of configuration issue (like the computer being set to always run at it's maximum speed, which will produce more heat.
