CPU cooler is to loud

[roppu]

Hello community

So my problem is that my fx 8120 cooler is waaay to loud (stock one). I have had issues before but that was with a wrong cooler on this thing( Some old athlon one or something, no heatpipes,small). This one is big,got 4 heatpipes and everything but here comes the issue. I dont know is it the cooler or settings but the thing is just screaming. I looked up at somewhere, dont remember where but its running 5900-6300 Rpm, and thats loud. When my computer goes to auto sleep (w7 stock sleep time, 5 min or so and the screen goes black) it goes quiet, temps are the same and all. So what can i do? I have changed the thermalpaste, checked if its fitted correcly and im out of ideas now. Please help me, all this noise is really distracting

That's completely normal; The AMD stock cooler is very noisy by default. If you want less noise, consider getting an aftermarket cooler like CM Hyper 212 Plus/Evo/X.

It's just the stock cooler, it has a really small fan which needs to spin ridiculously fast to achieve any sort of performance as opposed to an aftermarket cooler with a 120mm fan.

Forgot to mention that this noise is new, it was quiet before, this thing is something else

Try going to the BIOS and setting the CPU fan to quiet mode in the advanced settings.

i will try that next time i power up, just noticed. I have 2 accounts: admin(mine) and user (parents,sister), when in the user account everything is quiet, but when i log into the admin account the fan starts going fast again

You might have a program that controls the fan set to run on startup. The name of the program depends on the model of your motherboard, unless it's a third party program that you downloaded manually, like SpeedFan.

Well i have the gigabytes utily ET6 or something, maybe uninstalling it or something will fix it? Or unterclocking my cpu (lowering võlts) ?

you can do it in the bios and just turn on smart fan profile and i wouldnt use software to control ur fans but thats just me

Ahhhh, EasyTune6 is annoying! I installed that and noticed that when you disable fan control, it'll just run all fans at 100% as opposed to revert to PWM control; uninstalling it also didn't help and all of my fans were just left running at 100%.

Okey so i fixed this thing myself, i had a "rack" pc and i just changed it back to my original case and i looked inside the CPU cooler, there was like 1cm thick on dust right under the fan, so that was the problem 😀 Now the only thing that is loud is my GPU but that has some Fan issues (only starts at 81% fan speed)

Just cleaned the CPU cooler heatsink from all the dust and done

Sounds good. If you have a case fan with a speed controller, be sure to crank up the case fan speed so that it can dissipate hot air from the case faster and cool down the components more quickly.
