How old is that fan?  I would say get a new one because fans are really cheap and new processors aren't as cheap ;)

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?
