Question Loud PC

[Hutch02]

Hey all,
My pc has started to become very loud and I’m not quite sure why. I believe it is one of my fans making some of the noise whilst my GPU contributes also, but the temperature is 80 wheI have attached a video showing how loud it is. https://streamable.com/htbrqw

Is this normal or should I be worried?

Noise comes from fans running at high rpm.
To identify the offender, put a paper tube to your ear and listen to each fan.

If the sound come from the psu, the psu may be heavily loaded.
If the sound comes from a cpu cooler, the cpu may be running hot.
And so on...
What part is running at the 80c. you mentioned?
How was this measured?

It would be helpful to list the make/model of all of your parts.

I did what you suggested and found that the fan at the back end of my pc is making pretty much all of the noise. Everything else sounded just fine.

So my GPU runs at 80 when playing games / under stress and I found that by checking the Performance tab in Task Manager.

I have a Ryzen 5 1600
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 Ram (24GB)
GeForce RTX 2060
B350 Tomohawk motherboard
Corsair CX-650M PSU
Samsung SSD 980
(2 other hard drives but they are older and I am unsure of the make)
1 static fan at the back panel (two fans arriving tomorrow)

So is it the PSU fan, or a case fan? I guess a bearing could be going on either, how old are the fans?

 

[geofelt]

If a fan is directly connected to the psu, it will run at 100% speed all the time.

If it is connected to the motherboard, there will be a motherboard bios fan control section that lets you create a fan profile such that the fan spins slowly at little load, and increases as needed.

80c. is a common target temperature for a gpu.
Under load, gpu fans will increase speed trying to keep 80c.

Appreciate the help

It’s a case fan and I would say it is roughly 4 years old.

What is the make/model of your case? That will help us determine the size of your rear case fan. Typical sizes are 80mm or 120mm.

I looked on the specifications and it said 120 unless I’m mistaken. My case is an AeroCool Aero-300

Then if you're convinced that most of the noise is coming from the rear fan, replace it with a new 120mm case fan and see if it solves the issue.

80 degrees for the GPU is too much. Consider to do some maintenance, clean the fans, replace thermal paste.
