After upgrading my computers processor on my Alienware Aurora R5, my fan started to go at max speed.
I have already tried upgrading my BIOS, but it hasnt helped. Any possible fixes?

first check that your fan is installed correctly with new thermal paste.
you didn't mention your temps or fan speed. nor your config?
Oh, Sorry. Average Idle temperature on each core is around 25 C, and my specs are a GTX 1070, 24GB DDR4 2400MHZ i7 6700K and a Alienware Aurora R5 (2016 edition) motherboard and a 500watt PSU (I think)
