Did you clean your Computer yet, or ... ?
Natheria:
You won't have to wait 5-6 years for better, just two.
The last time i cleaned out my desktop's CPU fan was when i had to take it and my heat sink out to install a new HDD a month or two ago. There was quite allot of dust caked on the thing.

Mine doesn't get dusty at all. I've never cleaned it once since 2001. I did change a couple of components, though (MB, CPU).
My only issue with it currently, is the CPU getting extremely hot (~60 C idle, 85+ C at full work). It's a bit old, but I can't afford a worthy upgrade at the moment. I've been thinking about putting on new cooling pasta which would probably fix it, but it's too much of a bother.

Get a new fan? Or maybe you need more air-flow? I mean, if you haven't changed the fan since 2001 then maybe it needs to get changed. I'm not a fan expert, tho'.

The setup is fine. The fan is a custom Thermaltake, not the one boxed with the processor. It has worked fine earlier, it has just got worse lately.

Good lord. Just had to use some nailvarnish remover on my mcbook because I spilt some earlier, and I didn't realise quite how grey it is. I'm getting shit loads of dirt off the whole thing. Time for a clean I think!
