Processor fan blowing very hard

[Apophis2034]

I was just curious my processor fan seems to blow really hard and sounds like a jet engine taking off lol is that normal or should I be concerned?

What motherboard do you have?

Download Open HW Monitor and check your temps. That's not normal

If you have an Intel server board it could be related to incorrect BMC fan settings. That's why I asked. Just make sure you run Intel Server Deployment Toolkit can correctly select which fans are installed. If one fan port is assigned but not connected, all fans will run full speed. The same thing will happen if you have the chassis intrusion selected and the door is open.

Any ideas?

Hi, It could be that the fan bearing is dry, it's possible to repair that problem, or replace the fan if easier.
I have had the same with a Radeon graphic card fan. I took the fan out and put some thick oil in the bearing.
The bearing is hidden under a sticker normally.

Damn I would think after only one year it wouldn't run dry lol but thanks I'll look into that.

Try cleaning the dust buildup out of the heatsink - reduced airflow will cause the fan to spin faster trying to keep the CPU cool. If that doesn't work check BIOS settings (hardware monitor section) and see if you can change settings.. Like mike1959 said, it could be a bad fan running too slow so mobo ups the voltage to max.

I wouldn't do that on a brushless fan since there are no bearings.

But does that work if it's a crappy little ball bearing fan and has locked up? El-cheapo graphics card have that problem a lot.
