I don't know for sure, as last night 77C was the highest during ripping.
Will keep a closer look next time, and see if I can heat it up a bit to
hit the 93 again... (if I have the courage). But it seems likely after
reading about your similar experience. Reason that I haven't notice this
before might be some built up of dust in the meantime.

I also thought of using the disengaged mode for the fan. But I take it
that this reduces the life span of the fan? I might give undervolting a try.

Cheers, Leon.
