Doesn't sound right, they're renowned for being very efficient and very quiet.
I use a Zalman CNPS9500-AT on a Core2 Duo E6600 running stock 2.4Ghz. With the fan turned to minimum using the included Fanmate it's very quiet and more than adequate whatever I throw at the CPU. If it wasn't for the graphics card it'd be barely audible at 1m.
Personally i'm replacing my system with a Media Center so i'm looking for absolute silence rather than very quiet, and to this end I'm also switching my HD4850 to a passive version.

I just fixed it 
I didn't have Q-Fan enabled in the BIOS. Switched that on, set it to silent mode and its absolutely great. Can't hear anything. I hardly game at all on here so I don't see temps being a problem.
The only thing I can hear now is disk! My 4850 Vapor-X is like a mouse, and the Corsair PSU is great too. Wahey

Which Corsair PSU are you using? I bought a Corsair HX-520 for my future HTPC project after reading good reports on it's noise level in the hope that it would be 'even' quieter than my Coolermaster RS-380, and at least as quiet as my Hiper HPU-4S525. I just fitted it to my brother's pc after he moved back from America and forgot to change it from 115v
and it's hard to tell without stopping all the other fans for a sec (not enough hands for that), but I think it might be slightly louder than the Coolermaster. Don't get me wrong, it's quiet, but I had a £10 PSU ages back to fix someones system and my mate and I laughed our asses off at just how quiet it was, you couldn't hear a thing (and that was tested outside the case), and that's what I'm after... SILENCE!
