Brand New Desktop Making Noise

[w0osh]

I have built a new gaming desktop.

But while playing games, the CPU Fan (Above the heatsink) starts to go wild with the RPM and makes a lot of noise, which is quite bothering.

I have tried to apply heatsink paste in between the sink and the processor but still the issue remains.

Will changing the Heatsink unit with this one help ?

Or is it a mother board problem ? (I read this somewhere)

MSI 880GM + R6770 + AMD 560 Phenom2

whats the temperature of ur CPU while doing some heavy work???
If ur pc's temperature is goin high n high constantly then yess.. there is an issue b/w board & cpu (if heat sink & fan is perfect).
If there is no problem with your pc's temperature then u dnt need to worry bout it.
simply buy a new fan for ur cpu n make sure dat its larger than u have right now.
enjoy :-)

got the new Fan, the sound has decreased substantially.

Question : i have an AMD Phenom 2 560 Black Edition (3.3Ghz, dual core) is it good enough for gaming (Crysis 2, Battlefield 3..) or the load is too much for it ?

The quad processor that you are having is plenty fast for gaming, so no need to worry there. And with the R6770 graphics card (is it from msi only?) is also good for playing games at high end graphics settings as well.
