AMD cpu cooler very loud

[nutter]

Hi i have the AMD 955 & for now the standard AMD cooler that came with it.

I realised would be loud, but not asloud as it is. Im abit worried should not be asloud as it is.

During just the computer running it's like a small hoover noise, as soon as i run any program or game, it is very very loud and sounds like a car running.

My last gaming rig i had, i had standard intel cooler, and all though loud, not enough to annoy me. The AMD one is shockingly loud.

Is this normal, temp of computer is 31c accord to temp fan on front of case.

Thanks for reply!

suggest to enable the Q-Fan feature

How would i go about doing that? I guess i could buy a new cooler, but i never thought it would be this loud, it's so loud i can't hear the tv.

Im certain something aint right, it is honestly so loud when just idling. Like the cooler is running perm at 100%

But i have no clue how to check or even if i can alter anything.

Ok just went into bios(bare in mind im a noob have no clue) could not find option wayne told me to do.

But wrote down what i seen

SYS FAN 1 CONTROL 100%
CPU TEMP 46Co
CPU FAN SPEED 6550RPM

So the fan is set at 100% aint it? so that reason so loud, if so what % should i move it too?

Firstly, can you find an option in the BIOS called AMD Cool 'n' Quiet, if so is it on [Enabled] or [Disabled], I am thinking if it is switched on then the Cool 'n' Quiet tech will sort your noisy fan out for you!

Just "enabled" that as was on auto. No difference at all

Im fed up of it for 1 night, right now i could chuck it out the window. Im also not happy with the look of the HD 5770 card(Gaming performance, I.E Tropico 3 looks awful). Everything just seems more awkward with a AMD setup.

Makes me wish i went for Intel/Nvidia set up again. I'll remember not to make same mistake twice

Actually after another restart, has made a difference, the fan actually changes speed now, i can hear it. Still abit loud but nothing more than normal im guessing. I can put up with this for while.

Thanks for help Wayne.

I will have to buy a cooler after christmas, had it 1 day and already noise has put me off switching it on!

That ThermoLab Baram CPU Cooler looks HUGE and doubt fit in my case.

I was thinking of getting this

Should fit in my case, and looks a decent one for money. Just hope it's easy to fit.
