I have a brand new 550 that went online in mid April. I have had this happen
once in a 65 degree F server room. I took the case cover off, all fans
singing along at high rpm, no dust at all. I left the case off and put a fan
over it, about 15 minutes later, it was ok. I think it is a sensor glitch!
