PC fan really loud when playing certain games.

[Holding These Alligators Down]

When i play certain games such as GTA5 and Rainbow 6 Siege my pc fan is super loud.
I've downloaded a program which let's me monitor heat levels and they seem ok but it's still worrying me a bit because i don't have any money right now to buy new parts.
Should i be worrying about a loud fan?

Not normally. Id only worry if its maxed out when not doing anything. When gaming, its normal

The fans spin faster to maintain low temps and as they spin faster they also get louder.

Nothing to worry about and nothing you have to do.

OK cool thanks.

Probably gpu fan running too fast. All gpus do that on default settings. Get a program like MSI Afterburner and tune the fan down with a custom fan curve. I have to do that on all of our pc's because the fans spin way too fast for no reason.

In my main rig i have an evga gtx1080ti sc2 and it is very loud on default settings because it tries to maintain stupidly low temps, so i have set up a custom fan curve to limit the fan to 45% speed at full gpu load. And now my gpu is super quiet even when gaming and maxes out at 80 degrees celcius which is perfectly fine.

So yeah, you could do the same.

It's fine i don't mind it being loud as long as it is isn't damaging anything.

It's not a stupid setting, it is a smart setting. 80C might be fine for a Pascal GPU but the boost is way lower then it could. Pascal lose performance in lower boost already beyond 50C.
