That happened to me in the past (I have the 2.4GHz). To solve it I took out the 4 screws that are holding the cooling stuff, cleaned the core and put some new of the gray grease (or whatever it is...) in the core, put everything back into place, and the machine run at least at 15-20 deg Celsius cooler. I do it once in a while. Works perfect for me. Also you have the opportunity of cleaning better the internal areas.
