Hey, for the last year or two I've had some issues with what I believe is my CPU fan.
Whenever I would be playing something that was even the slightest CPU heavy I would start to hear the fan be louder than I'd like, maybe I'm just worrying too much about the fan when I don't really need to, I'm not sure.
But when my total CPU usage goes up to 35-40% I can start to hear my PC be louder than it usually is and going above that I start to get worried, once again, even though maybe I shouldn't.
I've not felt comfortable playing GTA V since it came out due to the loudness of it and I tried playing Skyrim again for the first time in 2 years and it got louder than before.
I used to always play Skyrim on ultra and heavy enb etc without me noticing any sound at all but now I can defintely hear it change depening on where I am in the game, and it is never quiet anymore. Mind you that it is not performance issues at all so far, just strictly it being loud.
I feel like people might first go and try to tell me to clean the CPU fan, at least properly, I have tried doing it before but I am always scared about breaking something in there since I do not have the money right now to replace anything that would break. But if that is the only thing that people get to then; how do I go on about doing it in the best way? Things to think about before I start and maybe a video or something that properly shows how to do it.
