CPU Fan Speed

Normally, my fan speed is rated about 1423 rpm. As of the last few days, however, it is rated at 1520 rpm. The CPU Temp is 40'C. Should I be concerned that my fan speed has been faster the last few days?

Sounds ok to me, my CPU fan speed is usually around 2000-3000 rpm. I wish my CPU temp was 40'C, mine sits at about 60'C on a good day. I am running an AMD 64 X2 4600+ Dual core CPU, so that makes a big difference. My video card temps get up to 90'C during games, much hotter than my CPU gets.
You don't have anything to worry about really, maybe it's been a little warm inside your case recently. I would only worry if the fan speed went slower, that could lead to poor cooling.

K, thanks SB. After all I've been through with temp problems, I like to keep a close eye on it.
