I have a AMD 8350 with the stock heat sink, when I'm playing games the fan on the heat sink is really loud, naturally i get the feeling something's wrong but when i look at the cpu temp using the speedfan app it reads 51/49C which is apparently normal. Am i missing something bad and what can i do to lower the noise because it's very distracting, fan speed is roughly at 2800rpm. Thanks

AMD CPUs are generally producing a lot heat, so either your CPU Cooler is doing a great job (so that's why the temps are good), or the stock cooler is just fine but is a little bit louder. As long as your temps are fine, don't bother with it. If the noise is annoying you, the only thing you can do is buy a new CPU Cooler or try to dust off your heatsink.
