The fan exhaust area on my Acer Aspire Timeline X is overheating sometimes. Once the fan warms up, the other parts (CPU, Hard Drive) start overheating too. This worries me.

I would definitely replace the fan since it has heated up already and may be getting ready to fail in the near future. Or of course you can always check youtube for something like this
