hi i currently run an AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ and it is idleing at 65-70 degrees c and when i run say eq2 it jumps to 97ish degrees c is this overly hot.

ill be getting a new system before long but just curious as to what makes it run so hot it is a 4-5 year old computer now.
 
just checked and the fan is spinning, but there is quite a lot of dust it seems in behind the fan maybe this is all in the heatsink also.. what would be the best way to clean this out?
