CPU Fan - Running Fast....

Hi guys

Got myself a new motherboard - ASRock P4i65g. Got my mate to fit it for me so installed the CPU P4 2.26 from my old Compaq Evo D510 and after some shorting issues (extra standoffs now removed) it's up and running.

However I've noticed that the CPU fan is running really fast compared to my previous Dell PC. Not sure if this is the case since connecting the HDD/DVD etc.

Went into Bios and it says CPU Fan is running over 5300 RPM and Chassis Fan at 2500 RPM.

Is this normal and is there any way of slowing it down without doing any damage?

Cheers
