I am assuming a stock CPU cooler - might consider replacing that.

Check your fans - make sure you have good airflow and the dust is out of the blades and such - make sure they are all functioning. Also blow out your power supply and ensure it's fan is functioning.

Once clean and verified - check the temps. If still hot - replace the cooler on the CPU. Test again.
