Hello everyone, the fan of my CPU (I7 4790S) is running at a crazy speed (over 5000 RPM) and it makes a monstrous noise as soon as the processor is under load. By the way, (according to the "resource monitor" from Windows) the processor goes above 120% of the maximum frequency. But strangely, there is no sudden increase in temperature.
My motherboard is an MSI B85-G41 PC Mate and my graphics card is an MSI GeForce GTX 970.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I managed to narrow it down, so I basically solved my problem.
For those who have a similar issue.
You need to update your components, logically, and make some adjustments in Windows:
(For Windows 10)
Access the "power management mode" (Right-click on the desktop > Display settings / Power and sleep (Left menu) / Additional power settings.
Make sure to enable the “Maximum Performance” option. If only "Normal Usage" and "Eco Mode" are visible, click on the little arrows to the right of the "Show additional settings" line.
Then: Change the plan settings > Change advanced power settings / And scroll down to find the "Processor power management" line.
Click on the small "+" and change "Minimum processor state to 5%" if it isn’t already there and set "Maximum processor state to 75%".
As for the processor values, it's up to you to decide according to the temperatures given by HWMonitor.
Of course, this "solution" should only be implemented while waiting for a new part.
I haven’t tested this technique long-term and therefore cannot guarantee ideal system functioning this way.
Although it seems logical, and I shouldn't have to say it, you are solely responsible for what you do on your machine. Neither I nor anyone else on this forum can be held responsible for any damage to your hardware.
Best regards.
