Maybe it just means your cpu stays hot even after idleing. are you still using stock cooling?

um that is normal... some bios has temp settings for different fan speeds. I know DFI has what temp to turn off and what speed to run full on. Typicaly you do not want the fan totally off... if there is no air flow the HS will not dissipate the heat and the cpu will overheat.

It's pointless to have it turn off anyway. Once it turns off the heatsink will quickly heat back up again and require the fan to be turned back on. 
I used to use a Zalman CNPS9500LED with a duct pushing air from the outside directly to it. It kept my processor cool enough that the motherboard would try and turn the fan off, but as soon as it did, it would spin right back up again. It drove me nuts watching it through my case window you could also hear the fan spin up and down up and down up and down...

it's hard to do my work with that fan buzzing at 3,000RPM

Get a decent third-party CPU cooler with a 120mm fan and you won't have to deal with a 3,000-RPM 80 or 70mm buzzer.
