Noise from CPU while playing games Hello everyone, I recently facing problem with my CPU I think. When I start to play a game (Elder Scroll V: Skyrim) , my CPU suddenly became so noisy. I don't know if the game will crash or what will happen to it, so I just close the game and everything back to normal. No noise from the CPU anymore.
When I'm listening music, running other program or anything, my CPU doesn't have this annoying noise, but when I'm playing, the noise started.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional, a i5-2500 processor, a NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT and Realtek Audio (From the motherboard I think, because I didn't add any sound card?)
Any help would be appreciate | My System Specs |

I would guess it is the fan on the Video card. Some speed up when needed(when playing games usually, or something graphic intense, to keep the card cool enough.).
I suppose it's a possibility that it is the CPU fan, but usually if it's loud enough to hear that well, it's the fan(s) on the video card. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite L455D OS Windows 7 Home Premium CPU Amd Semperon 2.10GHz Memory 2 Gig Graphics Card ATI Radeon 3100 Sound Card Realtek Monitor(s) Displays 15.6 inch Screen Resolution 1366x768 Mouse Logitech Wireless Hard Drives 250gig Internet Speed 16/2 cable |

what temperatures do you get when playing and its only ingame right, as for the fan noise it, it probably is your vid card trying to keep your card from overheating or there's a chance that it can possibly be the cpu fan but i also believe its your video card fan | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number me OS Windows 7 Home premium 64bit CPU AMD Phenom II X4 925 (Deneb) OC 3.4GHz Motherboard M5A78L-MLX Plus Memory 8192MB RAM DDR3 1600 Graphics Card XFX HD 6870 1GB (Connected via HDMI) Monitor(s) Displays Polaroid TLAC-02255 22" Digital HD LED TV and 17"LED Monitor Screen Resolution 1920x1080 60Hz / 1280x1024 60Hz Keyboard Microsoft USB Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 (IntelliType Pro) Mouse Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400 PSU CORSAIR CX600 600w Case AZZA Orion 202 EVO with 3fans and a corsair af fan Cooling cooler master hyper TX3 cpu cooler Hard Drives 500gb hdd 7200rpm Western Digital Internet Speed 5.22Mbps download 0.65Mbps upload Antivirus Comodo Internet Security Browser IE 10 |

Oh, so because of the old video card, it cannot keep up with the graphic, so it make noise? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU 3.30GHz Motherboard Asus P8H61-MLE Memory 4.00 GB DDR3 SDRAM Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Sound Card High Definition Audio Codec: Monitor(s) Displays SyncMaster (1280x1024@60Hz) Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Razer Tarantula Mouse Razer Mamba PSU Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 650W Case Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Hard Drives 1465GB Western Digital WDC WD15EARS-00Z5B1 ATA Device (SATA)

Easiest way to tell is to open up your case and start a game, then you can tell what's making the noise.
if the noise starts instantly when the game starts its not going to be your CPU fan as its not going to get hot enough, and most fans will spin at 100% when plugged into the mobo anyway so it would always be audible.
If it is your card it could just be just, so a good clean may help | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Built by badgers!!!

I see...
Well, one weird thing is, the first try, I remove my case, then the whole computer restart. So I leave the case open, and then after the restart is done, I run the game, no noise. Second try, I close the case, the computer restart again. And I run the game again with the case closed. Noise produced again. Third try, restart the computer, start the game without removing the case, noise started to produce, but after a little while, the noise disappear....

This is not good! There might be something loose inside your PC (a plug, a peripheral card, things like that) or you may have a serious electrical problem causing something to short out and reset your PC.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of the fans (or associated heatsinks) is loose; this can happen particularly with the CPU fan/heatsink. Make sure it's still on solid and doesn't wiggle - if it does, it would be best to take it off completely and replace the thermal paste with a fresh layer before replacing the fan/heatsink. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom-built OS Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, overclocked to 2.7GHz Motherboard Asus PL5D2 Memory 4GB DDR2-667 (4x1GB in dual-channel config) Graphics Card nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Sound Card Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Monitor(s) Displays Acer Screen Resolution 1920x1200 (DVI) Keyboard Standard Mouse Microsoft wireless optical mouse PSU Antec TruePower 2.0 Case Cooler Master Centurion Cooling various fans Hard Drives OCZ SSD Vertex Plus 60GB SATA (Firmware 3.55), 64MB cache
