CPU Noise When Rendering

Hey guys I recently upgraded my CPU, and my rendering times are greatly improved, but it is so loud like its going to explode. Is there anyway to reduce noise, but keep the efficiency?

Processor- AMD-FX 8370
Editing - Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Thanks guys!
 
upgrade your CPU as in just that? what about the cooling for it? use less noisier fans or a silent case?
 
I had that same issue and it was simply fixed by cleaning the fan it had SO much dust and making it sounds super loud.
 
It's okay if your CPU makes nice while you render because rendering takes up most of the memory so you can get the finest quality out of it! It's not some fatal error so don't worry! :)
 
That's not a issue with your CPU, that's an issue with your heatsink. It's either not doing it's job by cooling your CPU, or it's covered in dust. I would imply since you replaced your CPU I'm going to imply it's your heatsink.
 
some great ideas by others, i would suggest replacing fan or something, to help keep it cooler. Though how loud is it actually? Hope you get it fixed.

As others have stated it is something related to the headsink , fan or dust build up. I am just asking (no rudeness intended) but did you clean the thermal paste on heat sink with pure alcohol and apply new thermal paste. If you cannot solve the problem and cannot get a new cooler then i suggest setting your PC to 'Power Saver'. This should reduce the temp of the computer but you will notice higher rendering times. If you want a suggestion for a cheap cooler that gives good performance then i suggest the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (£30).
 
Thanks for the replies guys! Yes thermal paste was applied, new heat sink came with processor. So i guess the general consensus is that its my heat sink.
