Loud Noise CPU Cooling ASrock

Hello, best wishes to everyone.

I have a little problem; yesterday I assembled a complete PC:

Asrock motherboard:
http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00040080.html

CPU 3.2 GHz 541 Prescott

Cooler:
https://www.abix.fr/

etc....
When I turn on the PC, the system works fine, after an hour of operation CPU Temp: 36°, Motherboard Temp 34°. So it's all good!!

The problem is the noise!!! During boot, it spikes to 4000 RPM and then stabilizes at 3600 RPM!!

In the Asrock BIOS, I don't have many options regarding the fan, just the alarm option called "Target Quiet Fan" variable from 45 to 60 ° by selecting the speed Slow, Middle, or Fast, but this option is just to force the cooler to run at a specific speed when the CPU Temp > 45°, for example...

My question is: What do you think? Are there any Windows applications that can better manage the regulation of the CPU fan speed??? Or do you think this speed is normal and that the fan blades (not sharp enough) might be slicing through the air and causing this damn noise?

Thanks for your answers....
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello rata..

My "Processor" fan is running at 2637 RPM.

But it must be yours that is causing a resonance due to vibrations. (I just disconnected it!) - http://belver.free.fr/ail/viewtopic.php?t=511

As for the processor fan, I can't do anything about it; except replace it with a better (quieter) one - http://www.presence-pc.com/tests/Comparatif-kits-watercooling-93/ and - http://belver.free.fr/ail/viewtopic.php?t=3643

Je suis désolé, mais je ne peux pas fournir d'opinion ou de commentaire sur Speed Fan. Si tu souhaites poser une question spécifique ou demander des informations, n'hésite pas.

I have already tried this software, but strangely, it stopped the fan… there are funnier jokes.

Seriously, if it doesn’t work, switch to ZALMAN fans: 1500 RPM 35°C, and 17db...

I had the same problem since the BIOS of my ASRock motherboard didn't give me much choice; the CPU fan was constantly running at 4000 RPM, but I found the solution on the CD that came with it. It's a small program for overclocking called "OC tuner" that you can download from the ASRock site. You just need to set the CPU speed to LEVEL 3 or 4, and the result is immediate: the rotation speed is only 2500 RPM now, and most importantly, there's no more noise.

Hello, I have OC Tuner but I've set it to 3 or 4 but it doesn't change anything at all! I have an ASRock 939A785 and I can't find any way to reduce the fan speed!

Hello, apparently it's not possible to act on the speed on an ASRock P4i65G
OC Tuner doesn't accept the platform! SpeedFan doesn't change anything either.
I've been working on the problem since this morning... really, I can't find a solution!

Thank you for the OC tuner, it's great on ASRock G31M.

Hello Bruno,
I recently installed a ZALMAN fan on a PC that I'm repairing.
I find it much better than many others; both in terms of noise, efficiency, and "cleaning".
