Dell 9100 Overheating / Heatsink Issue

My Dell 9100 is overheating when I play games.  Dell sent me out a replacement 9100 system but it still has the same issue.  The only way to play games is to have a house fan blowing directly at the system when the side is off.  Does anyone know if this will fix and replace the current heatsink?
 
 
Thanks!

    Pentium D 2.8
    2 gig DDR2
    74 gig Raptor
    250 gig SATA II
    DVD-ROM
    DVD-RW
    BFG 6800 GT OC PCI-E
     
    I tried replacing the video card with two others, no go.  Everything else has been eliminated as a cause except blowing a fan into the computer to cool it.
