I think there's good advice in this thread. Definitely reseat the processor. Also, on that case make sure that the top fan is exhausting air out of the case, not blowing air in. The rear fan should be blowing air out the back and I noticed that the rear fan is rather small and that at any regular computer store you could buy a larger fan to replace it. That might also be a consideration on the front fan as well. Based on what Alex posted, I think that it's probable that the processor just needs to be cleaned, re-goo'd and put back on. As far as replacing the heat sink, if you feel that you need to just buy one from NewEgg that has good consumer reviews that isn't the cheapest of the lot.
Good luck!
