About the static, just ground yourself first. Touching computer case or power supply should enough.

Thanks for the Q-fan tip, I found the setting in BIOS as "disabled" so I enabled it to "Standard" and now the computer is quiet again. Even with the fans not screaming, the CPU core temperatures are remaining between 48C-55C which actually seems to be normal (superuser.com/questions/202807/…) so there may not be an overheating issue, it was just speed fan's "flaming-fire-icons" which made me assume that.

great.. CMOS batteries are cheap by the way.. See what it says on it, if it says CR2032 I heard (c=lithium, r=round, 20=20mm wide 32=3.2mm thick). You can buy a CR2032 battery in an electronics store. Duracell do their range with their own named one of DL2032 which is fine.
