My stock fan for some reason tonight has decided to go nuts, it seems to like spinning at around 4000/5000 rpm and I dont know why its decided to start doing that as idle is usually around 2500 rpm.

The temps are reading ok on the CPU around 40c and I did take the fan off and replace some thermal compound incase it was that but it hasn't made a difference.

I've tried an external program and Bios and temps are still around 37/40 C CPU usage is ok as well are ram which bothe aren't being taxed. the fan is around 6 months old so shouldn't be that?
