PC Noise

[Texus]

Not sure if it did that before but it get's louder.

One guy said I just need to clean the PC or screw something tighter, one PC guy said that I might need some fat on certain PC parts so it runs smoother I guess?
Users said fps or something goes up into the sky and I need to change some things.

I guess another game was louder today and only rarely it's aditionally warm, but I have no idea what to try first since I don't want to pay for nothing.

First thing you should check is for dust build up in your fans. If your fans don't need cleaning or cleaning doesn't help, the next step is replacing thermal paste. If none of that is the problem, then your hardware is probably just being pushed really hard, and that might be to poor optimization, but in the case that it isn't there's not much you can do about that except get better hardware.

Poor optimization from the game or the PC? I haven't really done anything and only learned what needed for a while.

Yep I believe the thermal paste was the PC guys first guess as well.

Okay....fans, I need to ask once uhhmm..Do you mean the one probably build in the middle of the PC or do you mean the fans on the ourside for....well cooling the PC.
Sorry if I would look that up right now or you could speak german I could get more precise tonight.

So if it's not one of these problems or the first two, I need something else?

Is there a PC you can suggest? I only got a link with a bunch or overpriced stuff shown when asked to see what they have choosen.

I question if I really need those 4k PC's, when all I want is better hardware for gaming and personal use, not streaming or what else you get with a 4.000 € PC.

Ich meinte eine schlechte Optimierung des Spiels.

Wenn ich Kühlventilatoren sage, meine ich alle Kühlventilatoren. Sie möchten, dass die Luftzirkulation überall gut ist. CPU, GPU oder die für Ihr PC-Gehäuse.

Sie benötigen keinen 4K-PC, es sei denn, Sie spielen mit 4K, aber bessere Hardware bedeutet bessere Leistung und insgesamt weniger Belastung.

Teilen Sie mir Ihre aktuellen PC-Spezifikationen mit (CPU, GPU, RAM usw.) und ich werde Ihnen bei Bedarf geeignete Upgrade-Komponenten empfehlen.

Tut mir leid, wenn dieses Deutsch nicht großartig ist. Ich verwende Google Translate.

Just to be clear with 4k I meant 4.000 € sorry. I understood everything I think thank you.
If that is alright I come back to it tomorrow or around Monday if I forget about it, I make a note where I should look by then, just right now I'm distracted.

Thank you for the help.

What kind of noise? Fans being loud or a weird high pitched sound?

[Texus]

I would need to listen again, but right now I would say the "fans", less if any at all from the other.

And how old is the pc? Have you dusted it out before?

Not recently dusted, but at least 5 years could be it now ( I need to check), I was reading that could be the right time for new paste now.
Oh that PC guy told me that air thing is enough to get it clean and I wouldn't need to clean much of the finer dust.

I would definitely dust it out first. Then check if it's not a fan dying, if it's a case fan it could be fine just to remove it.
From my experience even old dry ass thermal paste can work just fine if you don't remove the cpu cooler often. Though after 5 years it's likely not a bad idea to replace it.
