Brand New Desktop Making Noise

Brand New Desktop Making Noise
I have built a new gaming desktop.

But while playing games, the CPU Fan (Above the heatsink) starts to go wild with the RPM and makes a lot of noise, which is quite bothering.

I have tried to apply heatsink paste in between the sink and the processor but still the issue remains.

Will changing the Heatsink unit with this one help ? - http://www.coolermaster.in/product.p...tegory_id=3573

Or is it a mother board problem ? (I read this somewhere)

MSI 880GM + R6770 + AMD 560 Phenom2

what type of noise.. are you talking about just a noise from a fan spinning super fast or like a rubbing sound like the fan is going out?

also, is the heatsink free and clear of debri such as dirt or dust?

be sure not to load the heatsink with thermal paste.. to much can actually cause the CPU to heat up more. you want a very small layer (usually a couple dots of thermal paste spread out does the trick).

btw, you link doesnt quite work. but most third party heatsinks do a good job cooling CPUs

Yup, Cleaned everything, its the spinning fast sound.

CPU temp in the range of 49-51C

yeah that fan would work great. btw, your CPU temps look fine also. you just got a loud fan

lets hope so , i'll post an update by tom

got the new Fan, the sound has decreased substantially.

Question : i have an AMD Phenom 2 560 Black Edition (3.3Ghz) is it good enough for gaming (Crysis 2, Battlefield 3..) or the load is too much for it ?

 

[rozz]

yeah should be good enough.. maybe not the best fps.. but it should be enough

i have an option of exchanging it for the AMD Phenom x4 955 BE - Should i go for it ?

Or unlocking the 560 BE is better ?

P.S. : the exchange is at a very minimal price
