Hello sirs :)
I come to you with a bit of a problem revolving around my computers fans.
The problem is that they are running at exceptionally high speeds when I am in the middle of playing a reasonably high end game or when the computer first starts up. Usually I would expect the reason for this is due to the temperatures - that perhaps something is overheating. So I used multiple different temperature and voltage reading programs (such as Speedfan, MSI afterburner and others) to check what could be causing the fans to run so high. My Graphics cards temperatures are at reasonable temperatures (around 34 doing nothing and 60 maximum during gaming) but there are other temperatures which at times can exceed well over 80 degrees.

There hasn't been any problems like this ever since I brought this computer (well over 2 years ago) so I can base my assumption that this happened recently. However, I can say that this is a problem on my part. My computer in the past was running extremely horribly (I mean EXTREME. I turn my computer on and double click on something and the computer would shut down just like that). So I took out the graphics card and left it out for a bit, as well as unplugging the fan from the heatsink and reapplying the thermal paste. Basically, it fixed my computers shutdown problem, but now after resetting the fan into place and putting the graphics card back in my computers fan has gone crazy and some of the temp readings are going bonkers.

If any of you have any experience with this problem or possible solutions please let me know :) it would get a load off my back to get rid of this aeroplane sounding fan asap.

Thanks buds :)
