just a quick question, is there another fan in your system(not power supply fan) that is also running at maximum speed?

i dont want to jump to anything but its possible to break a pin on those connectors if youre careless.

as far as im aware, no

This also made me think: are you sure its the CPU fan you're hearing, and not a different one?

im certain

you can take it to the guys who assembled it and see if they notice anything.

from here its pretty much impossible to determine it

sadly theyre closed on the weekends
if they were open there wouldnt even be a thread

yeah i dont think the issue is dust at all
i did a quick glace with a flashlight and its mostly clean
unless the cleanliness of other parts inside the system affects it, i dont think its the issue

you dont have a 4 pin connector. the extra pin allows for speed control.

a 3 pin will always run at maximum speed.

is there a way to check

arent they supposed to run at maximum to keep the cpu to a total minimum temperature in any situation?

no...

I'm not sure but the fan might be outdated, is it? To know this is also important.

less than a month old

what are you doing exactly? Playing a game or nothing? If you're on a laptop and it's on a desk, put it on your lap because the computer is overheating.

no, im idling actually
when it starts up i can hear it being quiet (if that makes sense i guess?) but then it gets loud

i have a hyper 212 evo, my cpu is at 37 C and my fan is running at nearly 2000 RPM, which doesnt seem normal
why is it doing this
