Is it actually over heating? ie steam coming out?

Replace the yellow 4 pin sensor that is next to the blue one in the water housing. You could test it by unplugging it, and seeing if the fan goes off, and the temperature gauge drops down.

The yellow sensor is where the temperature gauge gets its signal. It also contains the fan run on switch.
