ADM 4000+ stock heatsink fan too loud

[gelat]

I do not overclock, and use cool n quiet, which is confirmed by CPU-Z (shows my CPU speed to drop to 1GHZ from 2.4).

Problem is my heatsink fan is like a blower from the car Mad Max drove. It never slows down. It is connected to the mobo (Winfast Nforce 4 ultra) and it does monitor the speed (3125rpm) CPU temp stays around 36-39 celsius.

Can I replace just the fan (I do NOT want to replace the heatsink and do the new paste deal)??

If so, which should I get.

Not sure man, it shouldnt idle at 36+, mines like 25-30 or so but thats a 3000+

not sure if its the same fan or not mine sounds ok, and judging by the rpms its not over doing it so i guess you installed it right, try and live with it? lol

Totally different cores. He's got a Clawhammer (stock 1.5V and 130nm) while you have a Winchester (stock 1.4V and 90nm). My Clawhammer runs at about those temps. They should be fine.

my stock has always been 1.4V, at 1.425 now...

same mobo as you, what gives?

Winchester is stock 1.4V. Might be a typo on ackbars part.

Typo. Winchester = 1.4V
Clawhammer = 1.5V
