Intel fan noise

I just bought a boxed Intel P4 2.4a to replace my old P3-667. When I run both my P3 and P4 fans run at 4000 rpm, the P4 fan is much noisier to an extent it sounds like a hairdryer. The only time where the P4 fan is as quiet as the P3 fan is when I set it to 2000 rpm. I mean theres surely something wrong with the P4 fan right? Same rpm, but P4 fan is much more noisier.

It's a 70mm fan instead of a 60mm.

You could tru Q-fan if you have an ASUS board. It works.
 
Yes I do have an Asus board and when I set Q-fan to 11/16, the rpm would drop from 5000 to 3000 which is still bad but when I put my casing up, the rpm would shoot up to 4200 which is very noisy compared to my P3 fan running also at 42000 rpm.
