Stock cooler sounds like a dragon fly and sad circus...

First, it is the i7-6700 stock cooler.

Second, it is the only fan that makes a loud noise, the 5 case fans are quite and have their own distinct sound.

Third, the stock cooler is set to keep increasing/decreasing by temperature.

While the revving and de-revving is understandable, the drangonfly and/or circus sound is kind of, odd/sad/annoying as of writing this.

You don't want an aftermarket cooler? They are much better and would be more appropriate for that CPU. CRYORIG H7 is great for the money.

The stock cooler is useless.

No doubt, the stock cooler is noisy under load.
That is because the 92mm fan needs to spin up to high rpm to do it's job.
$35 buys you a quiet cooler like the Cryorig H7 or a quiet scythe kotetsu with 120mm fans.

Problem is, I'd have to mess with da CPU again i.e. take off fan, clean that glue, add glue, and add new fan.

I'd probably get a aftermarket cooler if I built again.

Can you buy and drop oil on the fan without removing it?.....

The BeQuiet above is a great solution to your issue and the Silent Wing fan on it is very Quiet.

In the bios, you should be able to set the fan profile to a steady drone.
Check to see that there are no cables touching the fan blades as it is spinning.

With today's cases with motherboard openings, changing out a cooler is easy.

But I'd go for cleaning the CPU off while it's locked in and that is tricky I don't wanna.......idk about the grease, but I'll try setting a lower steady fan speed...
