So I haven't had my computer for 4 weeks, and recently turned it on and the cpu fan is extremely extremely loud, and fast. I'd take a guess it's running at least 10k RPM.
It doesn't look too dirty in the heat sink, but I'm not sure. I've never had this problem before so for the moment I set the CPU fan to 50% with SpeedFan.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help
Check temperatures with HWmonitor as if it gives fucked up sensor readings, your temperature sensors might be broken thus making the CPU fan go fast because computer thinks it's overheating.
All my temps are reporting fine, but for some reason I have to set the processor fan to 50% or it'll sound like it's taking off
Perhaps your bios battery died, and lost it's fan settings?
I don't think so, every other BIOS settings seems to be fine.
Suspect bad speed sensor, or the fan itself has gone shit.

So I would need to get a new heatsink?
no you would need a new fan and heatsink
Hmm, alright

I guess I'll first try cleaning it out.

I just throughly cleaned it out (to make sure dust wasn't causing it), and still I have this issue...
It's annoying manually adjusting fan speeds, and would be nice if it didn't sound like a jet engine at startup until I can set them with SpeedFan.
I think cleaning it out won't make a difference... I recommend you buy a new heatsink, they're cheap afterall...

I just saw that you said it didn't, but oh well I was right anyway...

Why are you bumping? Just [B]BUY A NEW ONE![/B]
Why buy a whole new heatsink...?
A new heatsink is ~20$ while a new fan is ~5$ :colbert:
He says his temps are fine, the fan has some internal damage which makes it sound like a jet engine.

Well it ain't. So get over it.
Sorry but buy a new fan/fan &heatsink
Make sure you don't have alot of bullshit running in the background. My uncle had the same problem, opened the task manager, and behold, the CPU was at 80% load.

Just start eliminating variables, starting with getting a new fan somewhere, doesn't even need to be high quality either just something for you to use to check with.
