Asrock Extreme 4 Noisy fan

Thread Starter 
Hi,

I just bought Asrock Extreme 4 motherboard with i7 3770k. Whenever i switch on the system the CPU fan is too loud and once i boot into windows, it slows down, but whenever I run Ubuntu or I am not in windows, the fan speed is too high (i guess full speed). I have tried all the settings available in BIOS and also tried upgrading BIOS but no luck.

Please share your experiences with the same and probable solution. Will replacing stock cooler help here?

FYI..I do not play high end games, but use system for heavy development tools.

-Ash

I have the same problem, same motherboard. The only suggestions I have is to put the CPU cooler on one of the other fan headers or get an in-line fan dial, like a variable resistor. It Annoys me when my pump goes to max RPM when I boot.

Smaller the fan, the louder it can be usually. They usually have higher pitched sounds. I'd just invest into a hyper 212+ or some cheap aftermarket with a low RPM fan. Hell, you maybe could run it without a fan. On my Q9550, I took the fan off the heatsink and I never had heat issues. The temps were a bit higher, but nothing extreme or worrisome, even at load.

I have an H60, but the 212+ and 212+ evo are highly regarded as one of the better heatsinks, especially for the price.
