I recently added an AMD quad-core chip and kept the same cooling solution from the tower for an AMD dual-core model. The fan is running at high speed all the time. Is there possibly not enough thermal paste?

The latest processor likely heats up more.

Verify your temperatures; we can't generate a justification since fan speed depends on CPU temperatures.

Consider your options carefully. If the fan is running smoothly, you might wait. If there are signs of trouble, address it promptly.

You might consider reapplying fresh thermal paste or opt for a larger cooler to reduce noise issues.

Fan activates under high CPU demand. Idle temperature remains unaffected by current conditions.

Don't waste time—boost the CPU load to see the highest temperatures. I recommend using Cinebench R20 for a fast evaluation.
