have a Lower end ALienware Aurora that has recently started having the fans kick up to amazing heights. I used CPUID HWmonitor and ran Dell's diagnostic tests and during the memory test (and while playing nearly any game) the Motherboard temp will average out at 103c and spiked to 107c. The CPU was at 70c. Seems like everything is running way too hot and it did not used to perform like this.. not sure what to do.
I haven't changed any voltages or anything since I got the thing.
Here is the info as I idle and write this:

I plan on removing the water cooling and replacing the thermal paste. I looked the fans and heatsink but they seemed to be free of dust.. I will make sure the fans are running when it is on, but the damn thing sounds like a jet liner getting readyto take off so I imagine they are
HELP!
