cpu overtemp shutdowns sb1000

My SB1000 system which is still in my house in Sydney has had quite a 
number of CPU overtemp shutdowns with the very hot weather over the past 
few weeks. Checking the logs when my wife re-starts the system for me, it 
shows that the CPU temps get up to 95C then at 96C cause an automatic 
system shutdown to occur.

I'll be over there in April for annual leave and will give all the systems 
a big cleanout, but is it common for SB1000 CPU's (it has a single 900 MHz 
one) to overheat when the fans are working and (according to my wife) 
nothing is blocking the flow of air into the front of the system? Sounds 
like something might need servicing CPU-wise though I know the room tends 
to get very warm as there are four systems running and the house has no 
A/C since it's an old stone/brick house with excellent insulation.

Guess it's just getting too hot due to not much air circulation.. Anyone 
else see this sort of thing happening?

Craig.
