Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Intel Retail Fan Wont Go Above 1990rpm

Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Intel Retail Fan Wont spin Above 1990rpm. This is with smart fan disabled. This carn't be normal.

On my previous build Asus P5N-E SLi im sure it would spin up to 2600rpm
clocked @3.2.

The problem I have is that I carn't get a good overclock because of cpu heat
with the fan at this speed.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. F6 BIOS

Thanks.

Could someone please verify what the maximum speed is supposed to be on the retail Intel c2d fans.
I suppose they are all the same on the c2d range.

Come on someone must know. Whats the Intel retail c2d fans top speed 2000 - 2500 - 3000?
Anyone?

I've disabled smart fan in the bios so the fan should run flat out all the time, but it only running at 1900rpm. This carn't be right as my Asus P5N-E SLi used to push it up to around the 2500 mark. I carn't overclock this board untill this is sorted. It gets way to hot!

[email protected] - 1.3v. Yes its a new build very cool at idle and load, at stock but as soon as I raise the fsb it heats up to mid 70s.
Might go for a heatsink resit tomorrow.
