Sounds like you should clean the case intake fans, clean dust out of the case interior, and verify that the fan and heatsink on the CPU are firmly attached to the board. Clean dust off the CPU fan. You may need to clean and re-set the fan and heatsink on the CPU, by removing it, cleaning the cpu and the base of the heatsink with alcoholwipes, apply new thermal compound (like Arctic Silver 5), and re-install the heatsink and fan.
