Case fan revs up.

Hello! Whenever I play a game like World of Warcraft my fan (Not sure if it's the power supply, GPU, CPU or case fan) will speed up for 15-30 seconds. It is obnoxious and loud. I've cleaned out the inside with air and it stopped for a few hours but did it again. Would a new case fan make things cooler in the case and fix it? Or would it not make a difference? This is probably normal but would there be a way to fix this? Like make it less obnoxious?
 
Having a complete list of all your components might help (e.g. how many case fans and how you have them set up).

Still, most GPUs with a reference cooler are going to get loud under load. Mine sounds like a leaf blower and I'll never buy another one that has a reference cooler.

I wasn't able to find any fan speed options in my BIOS
