Have you tried running a temperature monitor? The fan may be revving up due to a bad CPU/heatsink thermal contact.

Are you referring to the readings in the BIOS? Those wont display load temps :?

I don't recommend using speedfan for your temps... I started using speedfan, but CPUID HW monitor is MUCH better.
