Fans and Temps problems

I might have a problem with my CPU fan not spooling up to the right RPM's to cool properly. Speedfan reported a core temp of 63 C at full load (running prime 95 for 10+ minuets)

My main board has a monitering program as well and it gave me an alert as i hit the 63 degree mark but the Fan speed was only 1944 RPM. Why is my fan not increasing its speed. I have a ASUS board and it has q-fan witch i heard may cause this problem. I disabled it but there is no change. I also set the fan "profile" to its Performance setting. I have never seen the fan speed go over 2000 RPM and that concerns me a bit. Speed fan cannot control the fan speed for the Processor at all.

I used to have a P4 Prescott over clocked quite a bit so if i even thought of running prime 95 the fans would spool up in preparation. I might just be overreacting but i was wondering if i do indeed have a problem. If so i still have the Way larger P4 cooler i could put on and see if it changes.

I am over clocking but have never had any problems with instability Runs Prime like a champ

My Rig:

Board: ASUS P5KPL-CM
Proc: Intel E7400 (2.80GHz) Over clocked to 3.4GHz
Graphics: GeForce 8500GT
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM
HD: WD 300G @ WD 500G
I have 2 Case fans with adjustable controllers and am using the stock CPU cooler.

Whats the rated speed on the fan itself? Also it would be nice to know what has it been running like (temp wise) before this happened or has this been a long term problem. It might be something simple like a Bios setting out of whack or some dust in your cooler.

I'm not real sure on the rated speed of the fan but, i assumed it would be higher than 2000 RPM.

It has been doing this scene i built the rig last week, but now that i over clocked it the temps have rose.

There is no dust in the heat sink and fan. I checked the bios again and cant find a feature to increase the fan speed. except for a "q-fan" control. I have tried the q fan setting on optimal and off I still cant get the fan to spin over 2000 rpm
