Loud Fan after replacing Fan Clutch

So my water pump finally failed after one week of strange noises that i ignored...

Among the few pulleys and belts that were replaced along with the pump, was the fan clutch.

With the new fan clutch, the fan sound is now pretty much loud. is that normal? my friend's 325 has similar sound, but someone here on the forum said somewhere that the fan might break? the fan is engaging after just few miles of warm up, so practically it's always like that...

Actually, i love the sound, it's agressive, but i just want to make sure that it's normal...

ps: my thermostat is bad i think, and i was running on 80 celcius, and with the new clutch, my running temperature got even less: barely 70
