Ideally, you shouldn't get above 60 C.

However, as long as you're below 90 C, it's not TOO dangerous.

My old X21 could EASILY get above 90 C, however, unless I manually set it to 500MHz instead of 700.

is there any steps i can take other then slowing down the speed that would cool it down

If the fan is going out, you'll have that problem. Obviously, you've had the unit out, so you know how to get the part number if that's the problem.

Alternately, if it's clogged, that will happen too. Make sure it's not clogged.

Other than that, there's nothing I can suggest.
