Can someone please help me?

While playing Borderlands 2 today, I noticed my processor AMD Phenom II x6 1055t (125w) is getting very hot, with temps up to 106 degrees farinheight!
So far, I've:
Applied a fresh coat of thermal paste
Added a fan in the front of my case to help with better airflow, one that's using a molex connector, and very noisy
Hence, my motherboard only has one 4 pin system fan connector.
Could there be something wrong with my processor? I just don't know what to do. Here is a link to my system board, if that helps:

If I do need a new CPU, which one would you guys suggest? I want at least a good quad core for gaming that doesn't get very hot. Thank you.

I would suggest the fractal design series r3 in the 92mm size. They move a lot of air and are of the upmost quality. Price is solid too. You will be Chilly Willy!!!!!
