Hi, that is just the sound of the fan on the H60. I have the same coler and the fan can get quite loud. It will not break your computer because of the fan speed. I would recommend buying a new fan for the cooler that is quieter.

You may also be hearing a pump noise(may be ticking that could sound like a hard drive always seeking). Please ensure your pump is running at full speed since some are lower at slow speeds, while others are more quiet. Either way they are made to run full speed and slowing it can cause other issues such as a failure to run(stall).
They have had more than one H60 over the years so if it connects to a fan header, make sure fan control is off or it is a PWM header(since it will not control the pump speed.). The CPU_OPT on some boards is good for this.
In general the pump noise is not an issue, but monitor the speed to ensure it does not fail in the future(most motherboard bios setups will give a warning if a fan has failed. The pump shows up as a fan.).

The fans can run at any speed you want(or need for noise/cooling). Does the pump connect with a 3 pin to the board or does it connect directly to the power supply?
Over time the pump may quiet down some. It is also best to ensure the top of the radiator is above the level of the pump. Mine(and LQ310 is almost the same as the old H60) became more quiet when turning the pump unit(but you will need to clean and alloy new thermal paste).
So far I have not had issues aside of the noise.
