Make AMD quiet again!!

[Ezio Auditore]

Hey guys, I have a stock AMD cooler and its is extremelg noisy( like a boeing-747). Is there any way to make it quiet without buying a new cooler?

Other than cleaning it, you can have the fan spin slower, but then it runs hotter

Could replacing the fan be a solution?

If you want quiet, using stock coolers are your first mistake.

Not normally. The  fans included are normally failry high quality deltas.

Basically as long as your fan isn't caked with dust, it's going to produce X dB at Y RPM.

 

You could try to adjust the fan curve so that it doesn't spin up as aggressively, but that's going to mean higher temperatures. It's worth experimenting with it, since there might be room to reduce fan speeds slightly without introducing thermal throttling, but that margin will probably be very thin.

My Athlon ran like 105°C before i cleaned it. After, it ran at 35°C. I mean it has been collecting dust for 5+ years but just try it^^

The Intel stock cooler is actually pretty silent.

You could replace the fan or replace the thing entirely with one of these, which i know for sure are very quiet.

Lol .. Poop brown will kill the decision every time.

The axle of a fan can be filled with dust and other crap. A drop of oil will do wonders. That's how I got a stock coolermaster CPU fan to work for 7 years, 24/7 on.

 

After 7 years, I replaced the single stock cooler of this aftermarket CPU cooler with 2x 80x80mm fans with zip ties. Cools better then when new.
