Hello,
Idle is 39C and load is 42C? Your running the fan too fast! Or, you're not actually load both cores -- try running two instances of Folding@Home, or Prime95, CPU Burn, etc...

May I repeat - I cannot change fan speed using Fanmate or Bios settings.
Here I'm stuck...
Maybe need disable Cool'n quiet...

Hmmm,
That's strange -- the FanMate worked before, but now it does not?
The fan is plugged into the FanMate, and the FanMate is plugged into the mobo header (or the power plug)?
I'd maybe buy another FanMate?

Try plugging the fanmate into an adaptor off one of the PSU. molex plugs.
That way you have a clean 12v to start with .
