My previous PC got busted when my naughty 3-year old nephew poured water into the cabinet, so I'm building a new one. I've bought and assembled all the parts except the graphics card (which I will be able to buy only after 15 days, due to budget constraints). I chose the AMD FX8320 processor, but I seem to have run into an issue.
I guess the idle CPU temperatures are pretty much normal (usually between 25C and 30C, and occasionally between 30C and 35C), considering that the room temperature here hovers between 24C and 28C and I don't have an air conditioner. Since I don't have a graphics card yet, I haven't been able to test the temperatures under load (while running games). I'm using the stock cooler (I know its not good, but I will have to make do with it for now due to budget issues), and Speccy to measure the temperature (because it seems to be an accurate app for this). But the cooler is making too much noise within 5 minutes of starting up my PC, and the rpm is ALWAYS more than 5000. I wonder if this has got something to do with the thermal grease, but that's probably not the reason because I have built PCs (both AMD and Intel based) before. The noise is so loud that it feels like the whining of a jet turbine, but the temperatures are always under control. I just wanted to know, is this kind of noise and high rpm common (actually, the noise is a result of the high rpm and not due to something restricting the fan) with the FX8320 stock cooler, or is there something wrong with my cooler (either the thermal grease or a faulty cooler)? I haven't overclocked the processor, so its running at stock frequency.
An additional bit of information:- I have a high end Corsair cabinet with lots of room and ventilation, but no extra fans within the cabinet except for the one at the front, which came with the cabinet.
