thats coz he got the Prescott....its too hot! ...
Well it reached upto 60 degs at load so to prevent it burn the fan speed increases....wear a pair of ear plugs while playing games! ;)

Increase of fan speed while playing high-end games is absolutely normal. Nothing to worry. But during idle time make sure that fan is generating no noise!

Mine Prescott processor also makes noise !

@ASH_DSG: Ask your friend to buy a new fan that decrease the noise and cool down the processor

just as everybody said, it may be needed to buy a better fan, but sometimes, a VERY loud, drilling sort of noise can be heard when cpu fan comes in contact with wires, is that what you heard?
