[SOLVED] Is it bad if I hear my fans running while I'm playing games?

Hello,
I live in a fairly dusty environment and hairy environment with two dogs, and when I am gaming, I can hear my fans running sometimes. Is that bad? My GPU ranges from 65 Celcius to 80 degrees when gaming and about 30 when its still. I also try to cover my pc with towels while I am not using it to prevent dust in it. Is that dangerous or bad for my computer?

No, that's perfectly normal. Also, please don't cover your PC with towels, as it will lead to a lack of airflow and cause thermal issues.

But is it okay to keep the vents covered when my computer is off? I want to make sure it keeps maximum performance and how would I clean it?

As long as your computer is off then it's fine. When it comes to cleaning, you can just use some compressed air.

Do I just spray it on the vents lightly?

It's alright if there's a little bit of dust (As long as your temps are fine), you just don't want a lot of buildup.
