sorry i should have clarified better, it gets very hot whilst idle about 75 or so. When the streaming started that's when it hit 100. I stream to Xbox very often and its never gotten that hot.
Repasting the CPU and GPU may be helpful as would blowing out the fans and heatsink fins which can become clogged with dust bunnies. This is not for the feint of heart however as it requires a complete teardown.
