I played Crysis and UT3 both for half an hour and my CPU core temp only went up by 3°C from 57°C to 60°C whilst the fan got all load like always so I guess my system has just a high idle temperature in exchange for me barely hearing it in idle state....

Games can hardly stress the system. They're way more GPU heavy that CPU. most likely won't even use 50% of your CPU.

Try encoding something, or a stress test like Prime95 (select the option that says "max heat").
