I have an old gaming PC my dad built, pretty good too:
Intel Core i5 (probably a 2nd generation, I don't know the model number)
Gigabyte GTX 680
8GB Ripjaws RAM (DDR3 1600MHz)
Seagate 148GB HDD 7200RPM
Rocketfish 500W PSU
My fans say Sunbeamtech.com on them, and until then I only knew of the company Sunbeam that makes fans and heaters. My case is apparently an Alphine gaming case (according to the exhaust fan). It's older stuff. Heck, you probably haven't even known about Rocketfish until now. Or maybe you did. I never knew they existed. If you have, I don't want to know. But all of that is really old. I guess. Anyway, Dad built the computer in 2013 or 2014 and back then it was kinda quiet. Then I had it get REALLY loud. You can't control the fans from the BIOS according to Dad. They ALWAYS run at maximum speed. Now I try to clean the fans with a tissue (probably a really stupid idea) and then it began blowing dust out. I haven't touched it for about 6 months. Cleaned it at my grandma's on Wednesday. Removed the three unnecessary fans, broke the CPU cooler trying to clean it and got a new one, and removed some cords that were just sitting around, doing nothing. I never plugged it in and tried it, but dang, I want to at some point, so can anyone explain why it was so D loud? I need to get my progress on my games back.
