And where did you come up with 4000RPM's? I have a 2000RPM 120mm fan that blows out 80CFM, and it's as loud as a jet. I don't think they make fans that spin that fast.

Since I check-marked the "Automatic Fan Speed" option inside the SpeedFan program, the fan reads as running at a bit over 2500 rpm. This seems to be reducing the heat problem a little bit as the fan is now forced to run at default maximum with little throttling. The program might be exaggerating the reading slightly.

I will soon vacuum out the computer case. After that, I will continue to monitor the temperature to see if there is a significant difference.
