[MLUG - DISCUSSION] fan speed issue

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

A minute ago some fan in my system was making noise.  Then this window 
popped up to let me know my CPU fan was slowing down.  So I banged my 
hands on both sides of the box at once and the fan speed increased by more 
than 50%!  You can see from this image that the chipset fan was down to 
about 3,000 (RPM?) and as soon as I gave it a wack it went back up to 
5,273:

I guess I should turn it off, open it up and spray some air on it to get 
dust out.  Think that will do it?  Or do you think I need a new chipset 
fan?

Mike
