Open the task manager and check what's going on, something is probably using the cpu :p

Are you sure you are watching the full view? Windows likes to hide a lot of stuff and what about the performance graph? Is it low ?
Anyway, I have just saw the video, I have the same heatsink, that doesn't look normal, are you sure it's well assembled?
Edit dang I was talking about the metallic noise, it's hard to understand how loud is the noise, it really depends on the microphone and its distance from the fan

1) I looked from task manager CPU = 3-4% usage
2) I talking for the speed fan noise, not metallic noise xD i don't understand this "it really depends on the microphone and its distance from the fan"

For point 2, the same noise could be barely audible or could sound like a jumbo jet, it depends on how the sound is recorded, distance, microphone quality, ambient sound, etc...

I have this heatsink Hyper 212 EVO, how i say maybe i'm too much "paranoid" for the noise speed fan, maybe is normal, look the video above, have the same speed fan (i don't talk metallic noise)

I think you're talking about the noise metallic of the video, but I'm talking about the fan speed.

"Just a small amount of air is needed to get the heat dissipation going."
What do you mean? Whether using for example a fan next to the fan heatsink, due to high intensity noise in the heat sink fan?
Comment has been collapsed.
A fan eventually will gather dust and make more noise, why i clean my pc every 3 months.
Some are more sensitive to fan noises then others, i once bought 2 fans and returned them because they were still not silent enough for me, as long as the fan blows and you don't mind the noise, nothing to worry about.

A week ago when I played Dark Souls 3, the fan noise was normal barely audible, now he feels more than before, and putting his hand inside your PC, you hear a lot of heat (hot air), but what I think it is the heat sink of the GPU (GTX 970), however, touching the side of the houses of the PC, where the CPU feels a little warm that was pretty cool.
So I do not understand this show of warmth (little) and the increase in the noise of the fan heatsink.

You know it's nor very clear to us what you hear and what the problem might be, easiest if you just could record a small bit of sound yourself and upload it.

Lugum, the noise is the same on this video, i mean the noise fan speed heatsink.

Ignore the metallic noise.

in that video that is background case vibration noise - often caused by a poorly secured perspex viewing window - and rarely anything to do with the heatsink fans - the air causes the case to vibrate - were it to be anything to do with the fans then it would be either dust in the fan causing the bearing to be off - or dirt on the fan blade causing abnormal movement - there are many issues that can cause such things - mine was crappy perspex vibrating under airflow - but yours may be different (temps are well within norms though, so nothing to worry about there)

For the metallic noise (fortunately) there is I, the one thing that I have the same problem in that video, is that the fan turns making loud noise than the other week that was more "calm".

tap the top of the fan lightly with one finger (stickered area in the middle) - not the fins and listen to the alteration in noise levels - usually if their is dust or debris (or damage) in the fan housing/bearing area, then the noise will alter slightly with a light tap, and can even stop making noise altogether; but likely will return later - had one that was dodgy myself, and only changed it out when I was tired of tapping it (it was on spare pc so not an issue most of the time) - 9 times out of 10 it indicates the motor is getting past its best - but remember you can just buy another one - the square black fan housing in your picture below - and fit it to the metal heatsink - no need to remove the entire heatsink then :)

The part "fan housing/bearing area" you mean the square black heatsink/inside the fan?
Comment has been collapsed.
as noted below - tap that area in the middle, covered usially with a sticker, lightly

I do not know what to do honestly, it could be that everything is normal, but the strange thing is that when I played Dark Souls 3 (a week ago) touching the side where the CPU was cold, 2 days by tapping always there, he feels a little heat.
So I do not know if it is normal or not.
Comment has been collapsed.
the heat is normal - it is a heatsink - that is what it's supposed to do - transfer heat from the cpu - if you are worried about the fan and potential issues then just replace the fan - any 120 fan will do for a coolermaster

I would like to confirm, I just knew one thing, I do my sink (Hyper X 212 EVO) is horizontally installed, and the fan behind the case do not get to the sink, I hold open a side part of the PC case with a USB fan (medium to large) that "runs" cold air to the GPU fan and heatsink fan, I'm doing well or is it better to close the case?
Why closing the case, inside the PC becomes quite hot, given the GPU heatsink throws hot air and the same CPU heatsink, I do not have a PC quite warm inside.
Comment has been collapsed.
that is a bit hard to understand - sorry - but normally the air should be pulled from the front of the pc through the case to exit at the rear of the pc - if the air in the case is getting very hot, then you may not be pulling the air out of the pc properly - perhaps check that the fans are installed properly and that the one at the rear of the pc is blowing out of the case (my early builds I got wrong and installed the one at the front and one at the rear blowing inwards - got very hot that way :P

To make you understand better, the fan behind the PC throws cold air.
Comment has been collapsed.
airflow should go like this
not my image - just one borrowed off the internet - this is assuming a positive pressure
or like this
http://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/will-side-air-intake-or-exhaust-hurt-air-flow.745097/
there are other methods - especially if water cooled - but this is the basic
the fan at the far back of the case (yellow finned in the second link) should suck air out of the case, not blow into the case
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, the Fan back to the case is there, I do not know if it is properly installed, that air must throw out the fan behind the houses? Cold or hot?
Anyway for the heatsink on image is installed vertical, my heatsink is installed horrizontally.
Comment has been collapsed.
ah - sorry - not used a stock horizontal style in a long time (someone else might be able to offer more on those) - but the principle is the same - air goes out of the back of the case - the fan on the heatsink is just to draw heat away from the fins and cool it down faster
Comment has been collapsed.
I was too lazy to read all the above posts...
The most common reasons for a CPU fan to start making noise or become louder are:
1) There is an accumulation of dust in the Heatsink, and the fan needs to spin faster to keep the heat down.
- Remove your fan and Heatsink from the CPU and clean it out. Separate them to make sure you clean it properly. When reinstalling it, clean off any heatsink compound and replace it with new compound.
2) One of the bearings in the fan has dust on it. - Use a can of compressed air to blow it out.
3) One of the bearings has become worn and has a flat spot. - Buy a new fan.
4) The fan has been knocked and the magnetic coil is out of alignment. - Buy a new fan or if you overclock, an AIO water cooling unit - I'm fond of the Nepton series from Coolermaster or the Deepcool Maelstroms.

You can explain better (with images is possible) what mean "bearings in the fan"?
and
"Buy a new fan.
4) The fan has been knocked and the magnetic coil is out of alignment."
???

A fan spins on a spindle (a metal pole in the middle). The spindle is held in place by (usually) 2 small steel balls called bearings - Later model fans may use a carbon or polymer bearing. as the spindle spins, the bearings spin in their casing keeping the spindle steady.
and
Fans spin on the spindle the same way an electric motor works - an electrical current charges a copper wire in sequential rings causing a magnetic field. this attracts a magnet on the spindle. It pulses and alternates points - sometimes only 2 mostly 3 or four in sequential order literally dragging the spindle in a circle. It pulses so rapidly that the spindle spins, causing the plastic blades to rotate. Occasionally, a coil can be knocked loose, either for poor workmanship, a bump, or even just wear and tear - if this is the case you will need to get a new fan.

It sounds a bit like the fan is rubbing up against a cord from that youtube video..
Comment has been collapsed.
in that video they had flexed the housing too much by pusing cables around it, and pushed the motor out of alignment/damaged it - they ended up buying a new 120 fan for it and that solved the problem fine (according to their update in the description at any rate)

Has it got warmer where you live?
Apart from that, is your CPU overheating?
If not then don't worry about it.

1) Honestly i don't know, i play the game 3 AM on my country, is pretty cold (but no much cold)
2) depends on what you mean, if you talk about high temperatures, then no, the values are always the same as a week ago.

I wanted to ask a question, but it is normal that the heatsink fan makes a louder noise than usual? I mean, about a week ago, the fan noise was quite "light" and then he felt low, now, is two days I noticed that after a while the heatsink fan (not sure if it is the heat sink or the case ), feels strong enough (not very strong) but not normal as before, and I often using MSI Afterburner temperatures while the game are the same as a week ago, the only strange thing I noticed is that when I turn on my PC and I see the temperatures of the CPU is at 34-35 degrees (only staying on Deskopt), and after a few minutes is 15-20 degrees.
Maybe I'm too "paranoid"?
EDIT: The noise is the same (i talking about speed fan no the noise), is not my video, the heatsink is the same.
