Hello, I have a amd fx-8350 and the fan is running very fast and is loud. I checked bios and it's at 3517mhz and 39.0c

Is there anything i can do about this?
thanks

It's odd because I didn't notice this when I first bought the system a month ago. It was only over the last week that the fan has been running uncontrollable high and hence loud. I lowered the cpu speed from 3500mhz to 2900mhz, rebooted and it is completely silent now. So I have to sacrifice cpu speed for quietness? Doesn't seem right.
