Cpu fan loud when playing cs go
About a month and a half ago I bought components, a case and a screen and built my first gaming pc. I installed windows 10 64-bit, installed the drivers, etc, and as soon as I was finished, I installed steam, logged in and bought a few games (I couldn't miss the winter sales). Since then, I have tried the witcher 3 and a few other games, and the computer made nearly no noise. When I play cs go though, at first the pc is quiet but after ~20 mins, I start hearing a loud noise coming from the cpu fan (I think). It also seems like when my cpu fan is noisy I get a better a framerate (I said seem because I'm not sure): from around 250 to 270.

Here are my specs:
Cpu: i5 6500
Cpu fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212x
Gpu: Saphhire radeon rx 480 4gb
Ram: DDR4 HyperX Fury, 2 x 4 Gb, 2133 MHz
MB : MSI B150 Gaming M3

What are your temps. The fans may be spinning fast because the game is taxing the cpu/gpu and its heating up (which is normal)

Have you used cooling paste?

Idk my temps. How/where can I see them?

for one software solution, you can use HWmonitor from CPUID :-)

Just google - Cpu temp - go and download the software

Try unplugging it then plugging it back in, sometimes this helps.

It's As Good As Saying "Have You Tried Powering It Off An Turning It Back On?"

Are you dumb or something? I just told him to google CPU temp and download any software he wants.
