Alienware Aurora - System Fan @ max speed

I purchased an Alienware Aurora R4 ALX in December of 2012.  My warranty runs out on Wednesday the 18th, so I need this issue resolved ASAP.


Recently, my system fan for the liquid cooling has been spooling up to max speed under any type of load on the CPU, whether I'm playing games or even just updating windows via Windows Update.  The radiator is not plugged, nothings obstructing air flow in any way, and yet my CPU is getting hot now which is causing my system fan to go banana's... and it is quite loud, approaching 5500 RPM.  I'm beginning to think there may be something wrong with the liquid cooling system itself, which would cause the CPU to heat up, which in turn would cause the fan to spool up to try to cool it off.

What do you folks think?  Anyone know what may cause this sudden problem??

Thanks in advance!
