If your machine is idle, and your CPU fan is running loudly but only  
getting a ~60C temp, something is probably wrong.

You might try checking your other case or PSU fans and make sure they  
aren't failing or even installed backwards.  For example, If you have  
a 60/80mm fan under the PSU, and that's installed backwards (it should  
be exhaust not intake for that position), it will completely mess up  
airflow around the CPU and you might a similar result.  Or you might  
have something messed up with the CPU fan, heatsink, or thermal  
compound application-- consider replacing your CPU fan & cooler if  
nothing more obvious helps.
