CPU fan sounds louder than usual while booting up is it something to be worried about?

It didn't sound that loud yesterday, and it has happened every time I turned it on today

sounds like it went bad. change it out.

when booting most fans start at 100% rpm , then reduce speed when temperature sensors become active. seems your fan at 100% speed is showing that the bearing is bad and needs to be replaced.

One of my crappy oem psus was also making a similar sound

 

Opened it and sprayed abit of lubricant and sound went away though fan didnt move very freely so more of a temp fix

 

 

Can you send a pic of the fan?

also what country?

 

Usually you can find cheap 38mm server fans which should work as a replacement due to the high static pressure, just make sure theyre using a standard 4 pin or your mobo headers can adjust fan speed via voltage

 

If its a downdraft stock cooler just look around for a fan thatll slot in place or just swap the thing outright since they arent exactly expensive (like a $ or 2 for a stock intel fan be it crappy 115x slim fans or beefy 775 copper cores)
