I upgrade my Macbook's Ram and it's overheating

Hi!

I have a white macbook (late 2009) and I upgrade it to 4gb ram, now its normal temperature goes from 70 to 93c (never more), should I care about this or should I buy an external fan base for it or would you recommend me to download a Fan Control software for it?

Thanks!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Are you certain you got the right RAM from the place where you bought it? Just to be sure, what is your model identifier (so we can look up the specs for the RAM for your particular model)

Is it this one:

If it is, then that should be the right RAM here:
