I have built myself a PC and integrated the "be quiet! Dark Rock 3". The PC runs & I am actually very satisfied. However, when I leave it on for an hour the cooler gets extremely loud, am I doing something wrong?

Helpful answer

check that the fan is flush and straight on the processor. if the fan can be pushed a little on the processor as a test, then tighten the mounting screws crosswise.
test again...good luck

Does it only get "loud" or does the fan also turn faster?
Have you checked the screws?
Is the thermal compound well distributed? (if it spins faster)
Checked the fan pins on the motherboard?
