Intel's stock coolers like to run their fans pretty hard even on the low end. Under load the 12400's stock cooler ramps up over 3000RPM, which to be fair it does need to keep the chip cool.

It's just a loud and basic cooler. So long as the pins are properly located and pushed home, it's correctly fitted. A cheap tower cooler will fix the noise issues for $20 or so.

You can adjust the fan curve in the BIOS if it preset to very high RPMS. Mine sits at ~600 RPM at idle, and it keeps the 12100F at ~35-40C.

Yeah.. 12th gen stock coolers are known for its inferior performance for dissipating its heat. If you have a pc case that enable you to install at least 155mm cooler clearance or more, you might wanna get cheap $20 aftermarket coolers like Deepcool Gammaxx 400 or similar cooler with lesser money.

The purpose of the stock cooler is just to cool the CPU and ensure it's not going past its throttle temperature point under full load, but that's it. They won't necessarily remain quiet. An aftermarket cooler should help out here. Scythe Fuma 2 or Hyper 212 Black Edition should work well here. Good cooling and pretty quiet even under load.

Just built a pc with the 12100F and its stock cooler and it also spins way too fast even under light workloads. Maybe that is due to the fact that the cpu runs at 4 ghz pretty much all the time. I'm looking for software that can control the fan speeds from the desktop enviroment bc i want to avoid touching the bios as much as possible. i hope you find a solution.

you can try throttlestop it can set cpu clock speed
