AMD K6-2 300 MHz Running HOT!

I just assembled a system, here's the spec's:

FIC VA503+ @ 100MHz
AMD K6-2 300MHz with deluxe fan
32X Creative Labs CD-ROM
3.2 Gb Western Digital HD
Sound Blaster 16
Trident AGP Video
Lucent 56K PCI Modem

The problem is that the chip gets very hot during use.  The jumper
settings for speed and multiplier are set correctly.  The chip gets so
hot that you can't even touch it for more that a couple of seconds, even
with the fan running.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA
James
