I would perform a full system diagnostic by pressing the F12 key during POST and follow the on screen information.
If it is faulty, you should assess warranty by contacting a Dell agent by pressing the get help now button in the lower right corner of the screen.

@Josephferman I am not 100% sure if they still do or not, but I know past models used the AMD mounting pattern for coolers, even on Intel systems. So an aftermarket cooler might not fit well, and there's also the issue with fans throwing errors if they are not the OEM fans.
The provided cooler should be sufficient and it should not really make any noises except some fan noise.
If you do suspect a bad cooling unit, I would asses warranty options by speaking to a Dell agent by pressing the get help now button in the lower right corner of the screen.
