If your CPU is running hot you can take the heatsink and fan off the cpu, clean whatever thermal paste may still be on the cpu (a bit of rubbing alcohol), reapply some thermal paste and reseat the heatsink and fan on the cpu. Make sure that it;s on securely and tight enough.

Start up your pc and see if the temp dropped and or is still continuing to run hot.
