Thanks to the link, i gonna try it.
EDIT
And thanks to your fast answers mates.

You're dumping all that heat into the case, so what do you expect? You need more fans. Look to replace the fanless design with a fan based design too. I'd suggest copper due to its mass. Copper is less efficient than aluminum, but the same size copper compared to the same size aluminum packs 3 times the mass so it will dissipate much much more heat. It will also have a more controlled heat.
Case fans should solve your CPU problem.
www.coolerguys.com is a great place to find silent fans. If you want to hear the fans prior to purchase,
www.silentpcreview.com has all the fans in MP3 format - at least the silent ones.
SHORT TERM SOLUTION:
leave the case cover off for a bit.

PS. The wattage draw on the video card will give you an estimate on heat generation. A 4870 will draw 120-140 Watts. The one you have draws less then half that, so the best way to look at this is that you have a low heat card, but you still have poor air circulation.
