AMD Wraith Stealth cooler loud

I just installed my Ryzen 3 2200g but the cooler is sounding pretty loud (about 42-45 dB according to an app on my phone).

 

I also didn't find it easy to install as the screws needed a fair amount of pressure to get started.

 

Any help/advice is appreciated.

 

Edit: added a picture for reference

Did you tighten in a cross pattern or do one screw all the way in and move to another? Sounds like bad mounting pressure, therefore some bad temps probably.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yep, I used a cross pattern.

You might want to check whether you have AMD cool n quiet enabled, also check your fan curve in the bios. When I was using a wraith cooler, it was very quiet I have to say, so if the above doesn't help any I'd say you got a bum cooler.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Bios says 32 and 29°C for CPU and moba, respectively.

Cool n quiet was enabled, and I think the fan curve looks normal.

 

I've also noticed a sort of whiny sound on start-up/shutdown.
