So, I just finished my first system build, and everything seems to have worked out okay, with one exception - my AMD Phenom II 940 (with stock fan/cooler) is incredibly loud, in an obnoxious whirring sort of fashion. I've looked this up and apparently this is abnormal.
As I was writing this post, the fan/cooler started whirring extremely high (after the computer running for about five minutes) and sounded as if it was going to explode. I quickly reached for the power switch and shut it off, so I don't think any damage has been done (though we'll see!). Any ideas what could be causing all this?
