My CPU is not overlcocked neither stock or by me or anyone else. I only have one stock interior 120mm rear fan that already came attached with my NZXT Source 210 case. The CPU is forsure mounted correctly and everything. Stock voktage running through it. I havent messed with any of that stuff
In that case, your AMD stock heatsink FAN should be screaming at something like 4000 RPM, unless the fan is defective.
Do you have a high ambient room temperature by any chance? Use HWMonintor (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html) to see if your case's internal temp is too high, by looking at the component tesmp's, in addition to our CPU. In my case I have two (2) GTX 660 which idle at around 28-33 deg C, depending on the ambient room temp of course.
I would recommend to add (2) INTAKE (120mm) fans (or at least one) at the front of your case to provide positive case pressure, which should result in better heat dissipation/venting.
When idle, its really whisper quiet, but when im playing games, it gets noticeable; or even gets screaming loud if i close the door to the tower section thing of my computer desk. I dont know which fan is the loudest whether its the cpu heatsink, gpu fan, psu fan, case fan. I was thinking of adding a 120mm fan to the side of my NZXT Source 210 case and maybe one on top, maybe this fan:
here, just not sure if its intake or exhaust. Would that help? The room temperature is usually not hot at all, warm at the most down here in SoCal.
1. So now you tell us the critical detail. Well, I think there is our problem right there, you're basically "hot-boxing" your tower inside your desk's computer enclosure. Not only are you starving the case from access to fresh are, but you are also preventing it from proper hot air dissipation. Let me give you an example: What do you think will happen if you sit inside a closet with a hairdrier that is plug into an electrical outlet and you turn it ON, and you close the closet door(s)? I don't think you will be a happy camper inside that closet after a half an hour. Now, that is what you are doing to your computer and the components inside the case. No fresh air in, and very poor hot air dissipation; more like, the hot exhausted air is just recirculated inside the desk enclosure.
2. Fan wise, you can get any 120mm case fan, there really is not "intake" vs "exhaust", that was only a reference relative to your case. Where the front of the case is usually the "intake" and the back and/or top is the "exhaust", for optimal (cool to hot) air flow and heat dissipation.
3. I you can, take your case and put in on top of you desk or at least remove that door from the desk enclosure.
