Now the CPU fan is loud as fuck. It's like Pavarotti. I guess I blew dust "into" some part of it that I shouldn't have or something. Now I am considering taking the fan and heat sink off and cleaning off the processor. IDK.

edit: So a couple of bumps quieted the fan down. I suppose there was dust in there or something.

I've had a fan whose bearings wore out and it made a lot of noise until it died one day.  A fan can be replaced pretty easily if that's the problem.
Why is it so?
