    Wow that's a lot of information for a noisy fan, anyway, it is more than likely a fan bearing that has gone, easier to just replace it as it will only cost you about £10 or so.

    After a quick scan the temperatures dont seem to be a problem.

    Re: Noisey fan

    Any idea what fan is the noisy one? I suspect the >3000rpm one which is probably the stock CPU cooler? As above it could be failing bearing if it's a new occurrence, but it could also be the TIM drying up, causing the CPU to run hotter and the fan to speed up to try to compensate.

    Gpu fan could also generate a fair amount of noise!
