Ok i wasnt sure where to post this, anyway my cpu fan speeds really fast and is really loud the second i move my mouse in windows it goes nuts and spins at around 5k rpm, and my chipset fan is around 7k rpm but its quiet compared to my cpu fan, does anyone know why it would do this or how i can slow it down? temps are only 36c now.

Specs:
Amd Opty 148
DFI lanparty Nf4 Ultra-d
corsair xms 2 x 512
hitachi deskstar 400gb sata
c3d x800gto @ 16pipes w/ rev 4 cooler
samsung dvd / cd-rw

No need for apology....
You are not off topic

No standard answer
CPU fan speeds up when mouse is moved ??...Not logical ???

PS..Stock CPU fans are Noisy...Period
Usual fix is to spend $30/$40 for a "quiet" CPU fan.
