check in the bios to see what the cpu temp is. also check motherboard cd to see if there is a program to check temperature, rpm & voltages.

cpu temp is good & the fan appears to be alright too. can get a fan controller & temp gauge that fits into a 5.25" bay & possibly 3.5" bay so can control the cpu fan according to the temperature.
