Hi,
So this started happening 2 days ago, I boot up my computer as usual and I go in and play FC3 for example at almost maxed settings, everything is normal including the fans,
the problem arises when i start doing anything else for example browsing the internet or even typing in Word the motherboard fans go to 99% speed and stay there, the temperatures on the motherboard are around 38 degrees to 42 degrees Celsius, its pretty loud and distracting when I am trying to play a game after browsing the internet.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Edit:
Not sure if motherboard fans are even a thing, in CPUID HWMonitor under the motherboard list the fans are at 99% speed, those are FANPWM0, FANPWM1 and FANPWM2

Edit2:
Why do I figure thing out 30 seconds after posting on forums...
The fans were not the loud thing,
I went and touched my case and it was pretty warm around the DVD ROM area so i pressed the button to open it and the noise stoppped
There was a CD in there and for some reason it was spinning at max speed even though it was not in use whatsoever,
everything is back to normal, sorry to bother you LOL
