Hi, Guest
The San Diego is a 2.2GHz part. You're extending it 600MHz beyond stock spec, which is quite the feat for any overclocker, especially on air.
I run my Venus 12 @ 4600 RPM (as reported by SpeedFan) and the same for Sara's venice 3500+ (2.2GHz @ 2.53GHz) and it's noticeable but not THAT loud. It could also be attributed in part to the acoustical properties of the case.
With that said, moving to a larger diameter fan with a lower rotational speed will almost certainly rectify the problem. My real concern would be the quality of the copper base for the heatsink, number of heatpipes (if any), and whether it's a push/pull dual-fan design or a single fan.
Duals are my favourite. Let me find a link to a personal fave cooler in that config.
EDIT - just read your other reply. What processor, speed and voltage are you running?
There's no way you should be idling that hot. I idled that hot with a stock Winchester (hotter than the Venice Rev. E cores) and the stock PIB aluminum heatsink and 60mm fan, OCZ Ultra 5+.
