Something must be wrong..

Recently my CPU fan has been getting really loud (to the point it's worrying me, hitting around 6500 RPM sometimes), I'm thinking that it's defective, so I've purchaced a Corsair h100 that should be arriving in 1 - 2 weeks. I've noticed that my power options drastically affects my CPU, heat and fan RPM wise. Idling on high performance is more stressful than gaming on power saver, is this right? Is it safe to stress my PC whilst the fan is going so loud & fast, or should I avoid it until I get my h100? And to add, balanced seems to give the same results as high performance.

Pictures in spoiler.

I can post Balanced option if requested.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, but it never used to be this bad, it's recently started happening.

Not sure if this has happened to everyone, but my Gigabyte board didn't work properly when controlling fans. It worked for a bit and then stopped. Could be the same thing here.

I might need to update my BIOS, if I were to do so, could I just install update F4? Or would I have to go F1, F2, F3 then F4?

Go F4. F4 will contain all previous updates in addition to the new ones being said there.
