sounds like the intel fan is not running at the speed it should ... and might be about to fail .
I would replace it with a better quieter cooler

Nave03,
(1) You have a fan bearing that's failing. Open your case before starting your computer and locate all your fans. Start your computer and lightly hold your fingertip on the hub of each fan. When you touch the bad fan, the squealing will stop or the sound will change. Chances are that it's the fan on your stock Intel cooler, so try that one first.
(2) CPU temperature and Core temperature are not interchangeable terms. They're completely different measurements. There's 5 thermal sensors in a 4 core processor; 1 for the overall CPU and 4 for the Cores. Don't rely on monitoring software provided by your motherboard manufacturer. Here's why:

There's probably nothing wrong with your motherboard. CPU temperature is calibrated to BIOS, which is often wrong. Core temperatures have nothing to do with BIOS. Core temperatures are factory calibrated by Intel.
And yes, it's always a good idea to replace the stock cooler with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It's inexpensive and does a great job.
Please download and run "Core Temp" then tell us what you get.
