So I tried to post a screencap of the GPU-Z main page, as well as the point in the sensor log where it gets really loud. But since I am new I take it I cant post links?
Forum won't let me just attach the log either. Figured the log is better than just a screenshot of a single moment. I ran it while playing through a round of battlefield. I had it open on my second screen, and I was able to see when I started noticing it, and when it became an annoyance. At about 2000 RPMs, the noise of the fan starts to bleed into my headphones, at 2200 its tolerable but a bit much, at almost 2500 its full on distracting.
The gamer nexus piece shows the after BIOS update fan at 2200 RPMs, while mine is hitting almost 2500, is that the issue then.
The case should be well cooled, its a NZXT H440, with two Corsair 140mm fans added in, and a 140mm Noctua CPU cooler. Plenty of air flow (though fairly silent). Room temp is about 72F, and at this time of the year typically only gets lower than that.
Here remove the spaces, its a screencap of the sensor log during maximum noise.

And GPU-Z main page showing BIOS and Driver and stuff.

Sorry if that breaks forum rules. I assume the link thing is just a bot precaution though.
Was playing some more, here it is at 2700 rpm, where it seems a bit alarming.
