Crazy fans, scary noises and BBQ
14 years ago
General
So a friend of the family is visiting my mother so I'm going to be going out to their place soon for a little bit of a get together/BBQ sorta thing. When I get back later this evening I'll be doing livestream and working on some peoples commissions. Just figured I'd let people know in case they were wondering why I haven't started a stream yet today. So don't worry I'll be getting to that later tonight, I hope its not to late cuz I don't want people to miss out.
on another odd note my video card sudden is acting weird.. its not overheating or anything or having bad fps, but fer some reason the fan likes to jump up in fan speed for reasons unknown. I freaked out bad today when it started doing it because I started up bad company 2 and then this horrible noise came out of my computer tower. I closed the game down and checked my msi afterburner program and it showed that the fan speed had jumped all the way up to 100%! I don't know what the heck happened to make the fan act all crazy like it is. It's not that the video card is getting hot either I can see my temp at all times when playing games and such and it's at a steady normal temp same as it's always been since I put this computer together. however for some whacky reason my fan thinks it needs to jump up and down in fan speeds and scare me senseless. :/
So yeah heart skipped a bit when it jumped up to 100% for the first time ever since I've owned this computer, the fan sounded like someone shoved a wrench in it and I spazzed out. I even went down to the store and bought a dust off spray can to try and clean any dust that might have gathered but honestly there wasn't much to be found. So yeah I had my heart attack of the day, all the more reason for me to upgrade to a newer card when the fan starts acting crazy on the one I have.

Yea i heard wrenches and fans don't mix very well, you should try pliers instead. Kidding aside, that blows, I can only imagine if the fan is giving out already and needs a replacement. I know mine atm is being silent, but I really need to clean it out as I remeber the first week in when using it that it was chock full of dust.
