Hello, I just recently bought a new heatsink (Hyper TX3) to replace my stock one. After installation when playing games I noticed a high-pitch noise and did some investigating using prime95 and hwmonitor to watch fan speed and found out it was from vibration caused from my cpu fan being at an RPM higher than about 2200.
Heatsink: Hyper TX3
CPU: FX-4100
MoBo Socket type: AM3+
If I put my fingers on the heatsink or fan the vibrating noise would stop. This also doesn't happen when my fans are at a lower RPM (they idle at around 1300RPM, but go to 2200+RPM when gaming). I then went in my bios to see if I could control the speed but the only options are either too have it run at 100% all the time or have it adaptive to the CPU heat (my CPU idles around 25C and it around 45C under full load). So my question is, is this normal or a faulty CPU fan that I should RMA? Also, will this vibration damage my computer (like the CPU, heatsink, or MoBo) if I don't fix it right away?
EDIT: Checked BIOS, can't find any silent option for my fans. My MoBo is: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 and the BIOS brand is: Award Software International version F3. Here is a picture of the BIOS options: http://prntscr.com/2jgdxv
If you have it enabled it adapts to your CPU's temperature, and if it's disabled its makes the fans run at 100% speed (which seems to be 2600RPM for my fan).
