Hello, I have a strange problem. From time to time, let's say once a month, fan/fans in my computer, by sound probably from gpu start working very loudly (fast). I tried regulate it with msi afterburner, but nothing really changed, I noticed even louder fan working when I set gpu fans for full power. If I remove gpu from pc build and put it back, everything backs to normal, until another time. It happend to me 3 times already and I don't know what to think. Bad gpu drivers? Something wrong with BIOS? Something else? Motherboard had once BIOS reflashed, I don't know the details, bought used. Computer is quite new, assembled in September 2016.
Specs:
Intel i7 6700
MSI GTX 1060 6gb
MSI Z170A Gaming M3
2x4GB ram Kingston
Thermaltake smartSE 530W
Any help appreciated!

You have the cheapest dual fan GPU from MSI that doesn't have the quiet Torx 2.0 fans and Zero Frozr feature to keep the fans even quieter like the Armor and Gaming series GPUs have.

The hotter the GPU gets, the faster the fans start spinning and the noisier it gets. Do check your temps when you hear your GPU fans revving up.

Btw, your Thermaltake Smart series PSU is low quality (Tier four) PSU.

Tier Four
Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.

I do suggest that you get yourself a better quality PSU. Aim for a good quality (Tier two) unit, preferably great quality (Tier one) unit if you can afford it.

Anything from Seasonic is great, for you, in 500W range. E.g Seasonic G-550 (Tier two),
