Heat issues with CPU

[CzeReptile]

Maybe you got too much dust in it
Clean it up with a vacuum

Did that yesterday. Disassembled the van and cleaned it clean.

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?

Well, its under the table facing the wall with the air exhaustion. Never replaced the paste and its about 2 years 2 months since I put this together. And unsure when did it start, I was never checking, just thought about it yesterday when I nearly burnt my feet on the case.

One hundred degrees Celsius? That miiight be doing a bit of damage to your CPU - Like Zahas said, clean the fan and case from dust (Its a desktop I presume) and if that doesn't work, applying new thermal paste to your CPU and/or replacing your CPU fan.

As per above:)
