Just wondering if anyone has this case, because I don't think the case fan is suppossed to run at 6250 RPM at all time. I mean it does start low on boot up, but within 5 minutes its a 6250 RPMs.

I currently have a 625W Enermax Modu82+ PSU (intake facing the CPU), 95W Phenom 9500 (stock cooling), XFX 9800GT, XFX 8200 Mobo and 4x2GB DDR2.
 
which fan is it? if its the fan on the processor thats running 6250 rpm then remove the heatsink & check to see if you didnt seat it properly.

 
Its the case fan. The CPU fan runs at ~1250 RPMs full time, I think thats how the stock fan operates. But it is the case fan thats ramping up to 6250 RPMs. The cpu seemed to be cooled properly @ ~63C.
 
I looked in the BIOS and there were setting that has something to do with the fan speed, but I didn't understand the individual settings. XFX doesn't seem to docuement things well and the two page pamphlet didn't cover stuff in the BIOS.

I've installed a second 120mm fan and its signficiantly reduced the ambient temperature in the case and the now the case fan isn't ramping upto 6250 anymore. I ran prime95 max temp, max power test for about 15 minutes and it go to around ~4200 with the CPU at ~71C.
