seti,
alllll righty then, from the pictures and the temps, We now have something to work with.
Most definately the cpu fan is out of sync, and from what you said about the rpm dropping when temp rises(called reverse PWMx logic) and can be easily fixed with a utillity called speed fan(google for it) This allows you to control all the speeds and temps of your computer. It is a freebie and a great monitoring tool.
The cpu fan may also be a medium rpm fan that max's out @ 3000rpm and if that is the case needs to be replaced with a fan that has at the least a 5000 rpm rating so as to run between 4000 and 4600 rpm's which is about right for any cpu fan. But you can check out speed fan and then see if the values can be changed to support your board.
read the help file and you will see a notice about what to do for Reverse PWMx Logic. "F1" key opens help files.
The other thing that I would do is seperate those HDDs to allow more air flow through the center. As it is now the air is mostly directed towards the sides of your computer and really doesn't help you that much.
HTH
