Is your heatsink and fan combo appropriate for that cpu? Do you have thermal paste between the 'sink and cpu (not too much either)? I run dual AMD chips and while it puts out enough heat to warm the room quite a bit, the cpus are actually quite cool - around 40 deg. c.

As for extreme cooling, you can go liquid (water) or even submerge the mobo/cpu/etc/ in oil that is cooled by a window shaker AC unit...
