Yup, this is very common, specially in hot places or when the pc box is in a desktop cabinet. Either move it away or get a better cooling solution. My pc had a place in the back for a fan, and made a cutout on the top and installed another 120mm fan to exhaust the hot air inside. Never had any overheating problems again.
