[QUOTE="Exterminator, post: 332850, member: 2930"] Like jamescv7 said when there is an increased workload such as playing a game or multiple programs running that sound is normal.If you were to look at performance in task manager at the same time as the fan noise you would see the the increased load placed on your cpu and increased load means increase in Temp.The flip side would be once you hear the fan noise die down you should see you cpu's performance go down as well. It might be cause for alarm if it was running like that constantly or it did not run like that with an increase in cpu workload. [/QUOTE]
