hard disk spinning fast and very noisy after changing system

[tjane]

Hi i was using amd system before, and its a very silent pc.
Now i use intel system, with same hdd. But its very noisy.

What is going on?

One system's fan makes more noise than the other system...

Get an aftermarket sink w/large diameter fan such as Noctua....

Hi there tjane,

Is the HDD just spinning or it makes some unusual noises?
In case the HDD is just spinning up, you can go to Resource Monitor and see if there is high Disk Usage and what is causing it.
Apart from that, you can:
- Attach the HDD with different cables to a different port.
- Test the drive. If there is something wrong with it, you need to back up the data stored on it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

Just spinning constantly. Disk usage normal. I use 1 cable for 2 hdd.

AMD->Intel shouldn't make any diff. Perhaps in the switch, you also changed something else. A new enclosure would had done it.

What switch, its not external hard drive bro

You mean one power cable right?(daisy chain) I guess you can get a separate one and see if this will change anything.
Another thing you can try is to use some third party tool that can show you what is accessing the drive.
