    It can be due to accumulated dust inside them. If you have the penchant to open and clean it - do it.

    Else pretty way gets a fan that plugs directly into one of the Power Supply leads. Bypass your mobo and see if that takes care of it.

    Third option is to get a third party technician in order to check it out.

    Relax my dear. Don’t over heat your head at least!!! :)

    Maybe a loose connection. Get it checked out by a computer repair person.
