Possible dirty?

Just curious. Have you cleaned the heat sink? Sounds like possible dirty. Another idea may be "lap" both heat sinks for the processor & VGA. I laped mine & lost about 5degrees F. My cpu runs at about 90 F. & VGA about 93F.
I have a clear case with 5 fans + power supply fan. (my wife says it sounds like a airplane)
