Upgraded CPU/new heatsink fan running extremely fast

[jka1973]

I just did a CPU upgrade, from a quad core to 6. Everything works fine, except when i play any game, The games run great, but the New CPU fan is turning so fast it sounds like it is going to come flying out any second. I checked the Temps, idle temp is 16 C while playing a game i'm running at 51 C , Should i be worried?

What heatsink is it?

AMD FX6350 Processor/heatsink I used the one they sent as to avoid any issues on the initial startup.

Played several games now, no shutdowns or BSOD, Temps running normal, but the fan is getting worse. Any thoughts on what i can do with the fan? It is New, Processor, all new stuff.

Those stock cooler can run loud, does the fan speed/noise step down at idle?

 

[jka1973]

Yes, after a couple of minutes it practically goes "silent".

Honestly, it sounds normal. Stock heatsinks at load can get pretty loud depending on which generation of heatsink have.

Thanks for the assist, I keep checking it for now, i am running every heavy resource game i have to see if the temp changes, so far nothing. I think i will go back to my old heatsink, after Christmas, Need Thermal compound and nowhere to get it until Tuesday.
