Heatsink could be aligned improperly. Happened to me. Accumulation of dust/lint on the fan and heatsink fins in addition to what the others have said.

Not enough air movement within the case... The heatsink and cpu fan are designed to remove the heat from the cpu dumping it into the case... if you are overheating, then you may need to check your case fans (if you have them) and make sure they are pull the hot air out of the box.

You need to hook up another fan system..Keep the system out of the box and just in the frame if you are talking about a desktop system and then try to find and external larger fan for the inside.. Any computer store can help you..
