My computer fans get really loud now and then and I get temperatures like these,

even when im not doing anything, just sitting on the desktop i get temperatures close to the picture above

Im suspecting something is wrong

This is a Dell btw, about 2.5 years old

My specs are
Quad Core Q6600
3GB Ram
Nivida 8600GT SuperClocked
Win 7 Ultimate

Not much you can do with a shit case.
Sure is not a bad sensor read?

I can actually feel some heat when I get close to the case, so I dont think the sesors are wrong, and plus it gets really loud when you convert a video or do something heavy, loud as in the fans start spinning faster
Well its a Dell, i dont feel like I should waste anymore money on this machine

Will the temperatures really affect anything?
Like is it guaranteed the computer might malfunction or is that just a possibility

It'll automatically shut down before it fucks anything up.

Well its been running like this for about 6 months on these temperatures Im guessing
so it shouldnt be that bad

That 89 degrees is not at all bad. My "Temp 2" which must be the same as your "Temp 1" (I assume this is the northbridge) can run very hot. Mine idles at 87.
The core temperatures are also fine.

Those harddrive temperatures may however warrant some anxiety, as I believe that is quite hot for a HDD to be running at (mine do 26-29).
Just opening up your case and cleaning out all the dust should be enough to drop temperatures. If you want to try something further, upgrading your fans for expensive high CFM fans would drop temperature whilst not requiring significant effort.

Your system is clogged with dust, open it up and clean it.

Yeah I have an old E8600 OC'd up to 4 gigahertz on air and I see temp spikes like that at peak load usually less than 2 or 3 seconds.

Not a leaf blower. Sad

Use an air compressor, then turn it down to the lowest it can possibly go, then be about 5 meters away blowing at it. Very Happy

We (work) use a severely weakened air compressor that works perfectly.

I have this cloth you should be able to pick up from a department store, which attracts and holds the dust. I just wipe it over, it picks up the dust, I go outside and rub/shake it and the dust falls off. It works great, even if there is only a really thin layer of dust.

I cleaned it out with an air canister and temperatures now are about 60-65 degrees on the cores

@Deuxx what cloth is this because there is still alot of dust on the heatsink above the fan which is a bit hard to clean because the fan gets in the way

While you are at it and have the CPU fan off, remove the sticker label from the fan (if there is one) and put a few drops of 3 in 1 oil where the clip holds the shaft of the fan on, spin the fan a few times to get the oil to work down into the bearings. This will extend the life of your cpu fan in the long run and it will also make it much quieter.
