What is the purpose of the creamlike thermal compound that is sometimes placed between the fan and the processor?
to stop inefficient cooling
Is amd a loud processor?
Processors themselves don't make any noise; it is the cooling fan. The noise a particular computer puts out can vary by model of processor, brand of cooling fan, size of cooling fan, and age of the cooling fan. As such, there is no definitive answer to your question.

Why cooling furn in processor of computer?
Assuming you meant 'cooling fan' - It simply to prevent the processor overheating. Modern processors perform tasks at high speeds - producing vast amounts of heat. The internal circuitry of a processor includes of microscopic strands of wire. If they're not cooled by a fan - the heat generated can actually melt the circuits of the chip !
Your PC emits a loud whine what causes this?
