My motherboard's fan has started making noises like it's working really hard, happens only when my CPU usage is really high, while playing games or encoding a video for example.
I'm 90% sure it's the motherboard fan making the noises because everytime that this noise appears there's warm air coming out from the top of it, stronger and warmer than usual.
It comes and goes only on certain situations, I tried cleaning dust but it didnt seem to solve the problem...
My fear is that my Mo-bo will overheat cause of it or something and I will lose my whole system, again. =P
Any suggestions besides replacing the fan? it's simple to do, I just want to be 100% sure before I do it.
