Hi!
I'm using CoreCenter (an application for MSI Neo2 board) and it says that NB fan is at 5000rpm while the CPU fan is only 3300rpm. Not sure what the NB fan was like before though.
Is this a normal speed for the NB fan? (even at startup it is like this)
Can it have anything to do with my recent video card core clock overclock or it's a completely different story?

most newer motherboards support dynamic fan speeds and maybe yours isn't working properly. Check the BIOS and make sure the dynamic option is enabled and try messing with the settings. It could also be the fan speed monitoring program you're using. I assume you have a Nvidia chipset. Download Ntune from nvidia. You should be able to change/monitor the fan speeds from that program.
