Hi everyone i would like to ask for some advice. I have an old core i7 920 running at stock with stock cooler and since a few days the fan was making some noises, not those it makes when it starts to work at high rpms just a noise. The case is that it not broken,my temperatures are good while idle about 40-45, the trouble seems to be while gaming. When jumping into CPU demanding games like Battlefield 3 my temps reached 74º celcius on 2 of the cores, the others stayed at 70-71. To these let me add that bf3 its not working at solid fps. My fps fluctuates between 120-47 in some cases.
Could be the fan does not speeds up itself anymore? I remember sometime ago(last summer) my 920 wouldn´t reach over 68º at full load with 30º of room temperature.
Maybe it´s time for give this fan a replacement. Please give some advise on what to do.
Thanks!!
