I just did a CPU upgrade, from a quad core to 6. Everything works fine, except when i play any game, The games run great, but the New CPU fan is turning so fast it sounds like it is going to come flying out any second. I checked the Temps, idle temp is 16 C while playing a game i'm running at 51 C , Should i be worried?

Honestly, it sounds normal. Stock heatsinks at load can get pretty loud depending on which generation of heatsink have.

Played several games now, no shutdowns or BSOD, Temps running normal, but the fan is getting worse. Any thoughts on what i can do with the fan? It is New, Processor, all new stuff.

Thanks for the assist, I keep checking it for now, i am running every heavy resource game i have to see if the temp changes, so far nothing. I think i will go back to my old heatsink, after Christmas, Need Thermal compound and nowhere to get it until Tuesday.
