The fan is more concerned about the temp of the CPUs than your room [it does affect it, naturally]. Use your mb makers software to check the core temps, or just get Coretemp [dl the software] to do it. Reset the desired fan profile in BIOS if you deem the fan is too active, and the core temps are safe [if there is that option].
