Fan speed gets really fast and noisy when downloading games from Steam
Fans speed gets really fast and noisy, goes on and off when downloading games from Steam. I have seen a similar thread to this but could not comment on it hence this post. Also my pc is not an Alienw one and I am running Windows 10. Please can anyone assist me? Thank you,

PC setup is:
B360 AORUS motherboard
16GB DDR4
i7
750W power
MSI RTX 2060 Ventus
SSD 1TB samsung 860 EVO
Deep cool mattrex 50 midtower

Your CPU fan is ramping up because the CPU is being used to unpack and or decrypt the game files that you are downloading. Completely normal with nothing to fix .

Check with hwmonitor, temps and cpu %
What i see, steam is like others. But i wonder what makes your temps go up. It should be moderate.

It's relatively normal when you are downloading stuff, your Pc is just processing it.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
