I'm using a gtx 660 and i moved my computer to the floor because i got a new desk but now it always makes a loud sound when i run a game. it didnt happen before when i had my computer on my desk.

It's only loud while gaming, not browsing the internet

Under the "Fan Curse" button there is a Auto text and under that is another button. MAKE SURE THAT BUTTON IS WHITE AND NOT BLUE. If it is blue then make it white then turn down your fan speed using the slider.

ill try reseating and as for the fan speed i open up the fan curve and put it as "quiet" but it always changes back to custom. i change custom but it still spins loudly.

Is it spinning "loud" as in fast or could the fan/fans be broken?
