I've personally modded the chipset cooler on almost every motherboard I've bought. I usually put a bigger heatsink in place of the stock one. Just give me a peace of mind because most chipsets seem to run hotter than almost all other components on my system.

First though... are you sure the thing is really getting as hot as this indicates? I've seen some software read temps wrong.

107C should be burning hot..

This one is my favorite; Effective and inexpensive when you can find it: http://www.xoxide.com/zachco.html

 
See the copper looking heatsink to the left of the memory slots in the image? Put you finger on it and see if it's burning hot. If it's just a bit warm while reading the temp you may have a bad sensor. If it's burning hot RMA for sure but just kind of war your call.
