After happening to touch the center of one of the case fans I noticed that it was very hot to the touch which seemed strange as I then felt another fan center and it wasnt as hot, is this normal as it wouldnt seem so?
No strange sounds coming from the particular case fan and it seems to be working fine; computer isnt that hot either to denote the fan being so hot.
Thank you.

A fan shouldn't get hot. They are very inexpensive and easy to change. I suggest that you replace it.

Yeah I guess so, it seems strange that it would run that hot however, as I have never noticed it before?
