    What model of Optiplex do you have? I find the GX280 fans go nuts from time to time - sounds like a hairdryer.

    Check the thermal paste on the bottom of the heatsink. At work we've gotten at batch that must have had some crummy paste because it is all dried up and isn't allowing the processor to come in contact with the heatsink.
