pls check your CPU fan for RPM... also possable that the heat sink is not properly fit in... try fitting it again(dont forget to check the thermal paste)

Over heating problem: Solution
Clean the cpu + heatsink
Unclutter the box
Add new inlet and exaust fan
replace / upgrade cpu fan+ heatsink.
Use good heatsink compound between cpu + heatsink
