Hey everyone. So I just started noticing that my computer's fans have been running... a bit louder than usual whenever I am playing a game. Usually my computer is relatively quiet and I clean it on a normal basis. However, I have not taken apart things like the CPU and its fan to clean it. It's been about a year and a half since I've built my PC and it's never sounded like this.
I have some of the stats that I gathered using CPUID HWMonitor to see if I could pinpoint a problem. I am using the stock cooler that came with the CPU. Maybe this might be the problem? I'm not quite sure. I was planning on getting a new cooler but wasn't sure what to get or if I had to buy something specific for my CPU or just taking off the CPU stock fan and cleaning it with compressed air and reapplying thermal paste to the CPU. Please let me know what I could do to fix this if possible. Thanks!
Here are the stats for the RPM of the fans, temps, etc: http://tinypic.com/m/j9x2ms/1
