OK,so my problem is my CPU fan reaches about 6000 RPM. Under strain of gaming on high graphics my CPU's max temperature reaches 60c. I'm using a the stock AMD cooler that came with the CPU and I haven't reapplied any thermal paste other than what came with it. Now,I'm not too experienced,but isn't 6000 RPM too much for a CPU at 60c max? I've noticed that this produces a EXTREMELY loud noise and nearly shakes my desk making pc gaming a little bothersome.
Here's the rest of my specs,
Motherboard : ASRock m3A770DE
CPU : AMD Phenom II X4 955e @ 3.2 Ghz
RAM : 8GBs of DDR3 RAM
Video Card : NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560
Power Supply : Thermaltake TR-600P TR2 Series ATX Power Supply - 600W Link
Is there any type of way I can reduce the RPM on my CPU without causing overheating? Like going into the BIOS settings or using a software. If those options are not possible would purchasing a new CPU heatsink and paste help reduce the heat,which would reduce the noise and RPM? At first I thought it was my power-supply making the sounds,but after looking through CPUID I noticed the sound only occurred when the RPM increased. Thanks for any replies and hopefully someone can guide me to the right answers.
