I checked the BIOS page. Unfortunately, it shows the same readings as
PC Probe--around 70 at idle. Any suggestions on what I can do? Maybe a
fan is failing, as I said in one of my previous posts:

I honestly dont know. What do you think? I checked on the ASUS page
for my motherboard and there is nothing about cooling issues or
anything. Oh, by the way, I found out the number of fans I have. here
is the info:

1) Power Supply Fan
2) GPU Fan (on the graphics card)
3) CPU Fan @ around 4115RPM
4) Case Fan (attached on the inside of the case)

No idea if thats enough. As far as I can tell, all the ones listed
here are spinning. there is air coming out of the Power supply fan,
the GPU fan is spinning, the Case Fan I can see is spinning, and
obviously the CPU fan is going too.
