Greetings!
I built my Pc about 3 years ago. And it ran like a dream then. It was also quiet with the stock CPU cooler. Then obviously the thermal paste needed replacing so while i was at it i replaced the heat sink with a Dark Night cooler. That made things silent for the CPU. But now ill be playing GTA V and the fans on the GPU (im assuming GPu from watching the spike in heat according to speed fan from 50 to 71 degrees celcius ) go nuts to a point its like a jet in here. The game continues to run just fine and everything's stable but is this normal? And is there anything i can do? ive cleaned the dust out of the PC recently too.
