Cpu fan going crazy but cpu isn't hot.
So whenever i play the game my cpu fan starts getting very loud and doesn't stop until i exit the game but the weird thing is my cpu temperature is completely normal.

This is the only game where it happens and i was curious to see if it happened to anyone else and how to fix it.

As the GPU temperature ramps up so does it's fans, hence why the noise. There's nothing to worry about really, higher temps just means the game is utilizing 100% of your graphics card, which is a good thing.

It's probably your gpu fans bro, they can make a lot of noise.

That means that your computer is about to take off.
Does it sound a bit like a tiny helicopter ?

No its just a very consistent noise. i can't really describe it more than that.

Would not be concerned, as long as it doesnt take off entirely from the ground,

Mine does the same while playing Witcher 3. It's fine.

Same thing happens to my PC. I think is normal, my rig is not new and the game takes all the power it can!

fan going on high does not automatically mean anything is wrong. Its when there are other symptoms added with it that indicates a problem.

Such as computer restarting or completely shutting off, your computer is way to hot even though the fan is going full blast.

Yeah the fans are running at consistent speeds and the temperature is fine. i was worried for nothing.

Just make sure you take the time two or three times a year (more if you have pets) and blow out all the crap inside the system concentrating on cooling fins of CPU, GPU and blow out inside the PSU.

NEVER use a vacuum cleaner, you'll be sorry! A dust free computer will be cooler and fans run at lower RPM.

Also, ask yourself if it is normal fan noise (increasing RPM) or maybe a fan is loosing its bearing. Not all fans are created equal, some are as noisy as all he77...

ambient temperature is pretty important too

Temps always control fan speed. If they are ramping up speed temp is increasing. Are you sure they are not hot. Are you using a temp monitor such as CPUID HWMonitor. Look at CPU temps and GPU temps. I would not be concerned unless they are over 85C.
