I am probably not going to do that because it sounds risky.

So that's clear now. The solution I have now is also acceptable. (Also, 
I did not receive Jean's mail).

Under full CPU load for a longer time, it can get up to 85-90 degrees 
Celsius when I use the lowest setting in the motherboard. With maximum 
cooling it gets to 72 degrees in such a case. When I use fancontrol I 
can make it such that it is around 59 degrees while idle and at most 75 
degrees when fully loaded. A temperature of 59 degrees is the 
temperature just after it starts up so the minimum temperature. Right  
now I am just using a setting which is one higher than the lowest in the 
motherboard and that is acceptable, but it will be a bit louder under 
idle conditions. Under full load it will get approximately 80 degrees.
