Disable all the Adaptive Fan control in the BIOS & make them to run in Maximum RPM.

I stopped believing in Speedfan like 5 years ago. Try CoreTEMP, and RealTEMP.

Thanks for help guys.
I just installed one cabinet fan to the side.
Currently temperatures are below 75 (ICH and MCH).Also their heatsinks are not removable.I wanted to put some thermal paste there. :sad:
I will play some games for couple of hours and post results.
