Help Needed for My Rig

Hi, I want to ask some questions regarding my rig. I've been long time not involved in O.C activity, so its like being a noob again. I'm having some problems with it lately. I've been using it for around 1,5 years now.

1st, The temps. I don't know what software to use to display the temps correctly. Now I'm using the latest nTune software where it reads : 37C for CPU, 40C for system, and 57C for GC. For CPU it's running on 2025 MHz with 1.3625 VCore. For G.C, it's normal setting. Are these readings normal ?

2nd, The noise. Sometime comes an annoying noise from my PC that lasts for a while ( less than 1 minute ). I figure it out that the noise come from my chipset cooler. Something seems wrong with the fan, I don't know, from the nTune reading, it seems that the fan is running on half of it's regular RPMs. I wonder why this happens and should I change this fan.

FYI, last time before the warranty expired, I brought it to the store because my system can't run after I haven't turned it on for 1 whole months. The engineer told me that there's a problem with a pair slot of the RAMs. After few days, they told me that they fix the problem already. But I figure out that they only change the chipset fan and flash the BIOS to the newest one.

I wonder if this chipset thing relates to my PATA H/D seems fail after booting it for a while and my new SATA H/D sometimes fail. Is my H/D really broken already or it's only the M/B problem ?
