Yes get a can of compressed air and give it a good blow out... the go out and get a better heat sink and fan for your CPU... you should also have at least one case fan bringing in fresh air.. and one case fan blowing out the hot air (the more the better) and another this i would consider, is if you don't play games on it the under clock its a little bit... and try to have your computer in the coolest room in the house...

Oh my! now that's a serious problem!
NOTE: I don't recommend using the PC till you find a solution, the CPU might get cooked.
Solutions
Open your cabinet up and see if the CPU fan is working or not if not.....I don't think you will get a new fan, u have to buy a new processor, the best shots will be to contact your vendor or goto amd.com.
See if you have overclocked the processor or not, if u have; reduce the clock speed
I too have a gigabyte board and it does give a false warning about the temp, if the processor really gets this hot pot your
hand close to it see if its that hot
It can be that the heat sink is not in place if that's the problem again contact your vendor
If none of them have make a solution, u should be living in a hot place! Adding an additional fan might help you can also get a special water cooled cabinet with 13 fans!
AMD Processors usually don't get this hot because of the low frequency(Ur's sud be 1Ghz) i have a 3000+, it doesn't get over 40 C

0. Un assemble the PC
1. Clean your comp with compressed air
2. Make sure your Fans (CPU & Case are working) Replace if with high speed cooling
3. Re seat your heatsink
4. Install Speed fan and set your cpu fan speed to high.
5. Set your BIOS safe temperature before shutdown to 60 C
6. Re assemble
The most likely culprit is Dust coupled with a slow CPU fan .

70 degrees C is equivalent to 158 degrees F. Your CPU is most likely fried. If it still works, replace your heatsink and fan and get some good thermal grease. Your local computer store will have all of these.

Remove the CPU heatsink, clean, and reapply thermal paste. Make sure your heatsink fan is unobstructed. Make sure the cables in you case are secured and not blocking airflow through the case. Install another intake or exhaust fan.
And try this low cost case mod.

Blow the 15 pounds of dust off of your heatsink, and clean the fans while you're at it. Buy a can of compressed air from Wal-Mart, and just follow the instructions.

I'd suggest replacing the heat sink & maybe installing a few fans in the cabinet.
