Jesus christ! Those temps are a little over the top there. Do you knwo what kind of cooling you have? How many fans are installed in your case? This is the most likely cause of your problem. In fact I'm pretty certain it is.

Also, are these temps taken with nothing else running?

EDIT: I realise, to some members who may bring it up, that some GPU's are designed to work in high temperatures. However, you all know that CPU cores are not meant to get that high when idle.

Can you see any where in/on your case that allows more fans to be installed?

Okay, can you measure them? They'll probably 90, 80 or 120mm. Not much use if you buy the wrong size, eh?

Just in case you didn't know, you measure them on the sides, not corner to corner like monitors.

Can you also check that you have enough fan power connectors on the motherboard? If not we can get fan to molex cables to connect to your PSU instead.

Ah, and while I'm still editing, clean out any dust residing within your case. Dust can hinder any kind of vetilation your case has so it needs to be cleaned out often.
