Your cpu fan increases in speed for a reason...
I will laugh when you turn it completely off and destroy your processor

If you want your cpu cooler to make less noise, you can change the CPU fan but dong that the CPU temp will increase
In my opinion get a new one that is more efficient, those Prescotts really pump out a lot of heat, and Intel cooler is not very good

Check out the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Really quiet, great performance, and cheap.
