Loud CPU fan noise

[tech_lover]

Hi,

When I am starting my PC, I get a very loud buzzing sound from my processor fan. This goes away after 10-15 mins. Is there a problem? Can I buy a proc fan separately and replave the one that came from Intel?

Thanks,
TL

Are you sure it is the CPU fan and not a cabinet fan? Cause usually those cheap quality cabinet fans make a lot of noise, and once the system has powered up, they are turned off.

hi goobimama,

yes it is the CPU fan, not a cabinet fan. irecently put a vantec cabinet fan, and its working fine.
