Case fans are measured at the blade tips. Your case fan sounds like it may be an 80mm model.

Check your system and CPU temps by entering the BIOS and looking at PC Health. Or you can download a utility to show the temps while in Windows. One such utility is speedfan. Download from the link below.

I think you need to replace your fan but check the temps. I suspect the fan must rotate at a minimum speed or the warning is shown.
