Lint builds up. Check all Fin and Grills and fan blades.
Fan bearings go bad (slowly). Watch the fan, it should not jerk or look slow under Fluorescent light (strobe effect). With the system OFF, spin the fan, it should keep turning a turn or 2 after a flick.

I don't know about modern AMD, but my old K6 ran real hot (compared to a P II), fan fail was common.
