Hi, today when I turned on my computer I noticed that my cpu fan was unusually loud. I'm running stock cooler on an i7 3770k (NOT overclocked), and I'm getting average core temps of about 40 degrees celcius on single digit loads (task manager reporting around 4%). It just suddenly occured today, before today I was averaging 25-30 degrees on my CPU. Any possible reasons of why this would all of a sudden happen?

Hi. Replace the fan. It is dying.
