1. How is the airflow/circulation in and around your case? Not enough fresh air seems rather probable.
2. Another tip is to replace the thermal paste/compound that links the actual cooler and the CPU - when was last time you replaced this or, if you haven't done so; when did you install the processor?

You can find many good guides for doing this on the net, for example: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/How...Thermal-Grease/

And a few other questions: How long ago did the problem start? Just this summer? And how were your temps before they started to go up in the 100s?
