Heyho,
So, after a good (few) years without much but the occasional dusting, I decided to do a thorough clean of my case. Removed dust, what not.
Afterwards, everything sounded exactly like it used to - there was a faint clicking sound from my CPU fan (Arctic Freezer Extreme Rev.2), but I recall having heard it before.
Retracing my steps to make sure I hadn't made a faulty move somewhere, I recallI only very gently brushing the very edges of the monster of a heatsink that it is, to try and get the worst out-coating of dust off (and did so succesfully, from what I can tell).
To check everything was in order, I decided to install HWmonitor to check temperatures, and that's when the odd bit of info popped up:
Apparently, according to HWMonitor, my CPU fan is running at 7856 RPM Min, 56784 RPM Max, jumping from 19640 to 56784 in value every few seconds - although I can't hear it speeding up nor down, and temperature of the CPU is 35 - 49 Celsius, and CPU socket is 37 - 40 Celsius.
So, is my computers adamency of it having a heavy-duty industrial fan installed on its CPU something I should be worried about?
For reference, I've had it for a good 3~ years now, and never paid attention to the CPU Fan speed before now.
I've also checked with both SpeedFan, HWMonitor, and my BIOS, and all say the same thing.
Edit: Ah, should mention that the motherboard is an ASUS Maximum IV Extreme ROG
