lomk 20,630 Share November 8, 2016 413138 Sup, guys? Lately, my PC has been making A TON of fan noise and it's been getting pretty hot. Now, I admit I haven't cleaned it in a while, but that's not 100% of the problem. I decided to pull my GPU since I was hitting 90 degrees playing Far Cry 3. Plugged everything back up sans GPU and now, while it is a crap gaming machine, it's pretty much silent. I was worried my CPU fans were making a lot of noise, but it turns out the vast majority of my fan noise and heat has been coming from my GPU. So as for my next upgrade, it may be time to look at a custom liquid cooling solution for my GPU. The cool part of Core CPUs vs FX CPUs is that you don't need a GPU to run your machine on a Core CPU. Thumbs up for Intel in that department - that if my GPU were to ever crap out, I can still run my machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
