Hey guys I got the FX 6350 yesterday and the stock cooler for it is really loud most of the time. Is this normal and should i get a new Cooler or is there a fix i can do like turning down the speed of the fan.

Please post links, thank you!

Nope, nothing can be done, if you turn it down it will get too hot.
Get a better cooler, a coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO for like 30$.

Get a Cooler Master 212 EVO...much better.
 
The Xigmatek Gaia is superior to the more often mentioned Hyper212 EVO, particularly for bang/buck:

Unlike the Hyper212 EVO (ignore the URL; it IS the EVO they tested), the Gaia never throttled, although it wasn't always the coolest depending on the fan used. Both got awards, but if you factor in the price, the Gaia wins hands down.
