1147047 2010-10-23 03:28:00 I bought a AMD 955 and the CPU fan sounds like a jet engine. I also have an Intel Computer and the CPU fan is whisper quite. I don't understand why any computer would put a CPU fan on that sounds like this. Any suggestion on what I can do about this? lostsoul62 (16011)

1147049 2010-10-23 06:08:00 Go into your Bios settings and see if there is a CPU fan speed control system dependant on detected temperature, turn it on. The fan may not be compatible with this system (needs a 4-wire fan I think), if not, get one that is. feersumendjinn (64)
1147050 2010-10-23 07:16:00 Google suggests this is a common problem. An ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm seems to be a common answer PPp (9511)

I went into the BOIS and put the fan to 60 which is 60% I guess. It had 40,45,50,55,60 so I put it at 60 and now that jet engine sound is gone and it makes a regular noise. It also looks like my heat sink is a cooling heat sink because it has brass tubing running around it.
Thanks

I would check to make sure that 60 really does = 60%. It is more likely to mean 60 Degrees C, and probably won't turn the fan up faster until the CPU temp reaches 60 (which is not good)

You may find using a software control like SpeedFan to be better.

I would agree with that. :eek:

1147054 2010-10-25 08:43:00 The stock HSF that came with my 955BE is very quiet, it sits at about 1400rpm most of the time. The fan on my GTX460 is MUCH louder under load ;) inphinity (7274)
