New computer's fan is really loud

[Zanzafry]

Hey, I recently bought a new computer, and the fan is absurdly loud. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing either, as soon as the computer starts up, with no applications open, it's crazy loud, but it doesn't seem to get any louder when I start playing games on it. The fan is just loud all the time and I'd like to reduce the noise as much as possible.

Here's a link to the computer model:

If someone can help with this in terms of new fans to buy, etc. that would be fantastic.

Thank you.

My guess is that it is because it is running hot, maybe try downloading a temperature monitoring program to see what it is reaching:
Speccy

You could reduce the noise by putting it into powersaving mode when not gaming or by lifting it off the table, or possibly using a cooling pad.
By the way, when you run Speccy, it while also give you the computer specs, I'm curious to which processor you have.

The temperature is hovering between 65 and 75 Celsius, which I'm pretty sure is too hot (but I wouldn't know). Where can I go in Speccy to see what processor I have? Also, from the page about my computer I linked, is there anything that immediately stands out in my computer as something that should be improved or replaced, ideally to cool off the computer, but also otherwise.

Laptops usually run hotter than desktops, but this is still a little high, on idle, I would hope for a temperature a little closer to 55-60.
One idea may be to raise it off your desk a little. For example, put a book or something underneath the hinge to get better airflow.
There's not really anything else besides reducing your processors workload and giving it better airflow though.
Don't worry too much about the processor in Speccy, but it should be listed underneath the processor heading in the summary page, maybe something like 'Intel Core ...'

Ah, I see "Intel Core i5 4210M @ 2.60GHz," I suppose that's it? And I'll go ahead and to the book thing, thanks for that tip.

Make sure that the vents do not have any dust in them, and then prop it up, as bmw-vision said. Proping it up on all four corners is best, and remove the battery and just run it with the power cord in. If you can, direct a fan or something to blow across the laptop. And, put it in standby or shut it down when you aren't using it, so it can cool down.
