Brehs, my fans on my PC have gotten so loud it sounds like there's a hurricane in my room whenever I exert the system. Is it time to replace the cooler? Or are there any other fixes?

First, run "power options" and see if you're on "high performance." If you are, go to "Balanced." That should minimize the heat generated from your CPU and lower the sound. If you're already on Balanced, then you might have to replace the cooler.

Have you blown the dust out of the case?

No, I've actually been thinking of getting one of those air cans.... guess it's time to try it out.

Thanks breh.

How long have you had the case after about 2 years I tend to replace them if you have to go that route noctua makes some great fans. Fist as they said I would try making sure you don't have some Over clocking program ramping up the voltage the fans are getting then clean them out.

Man, time passed by so quickly that I forgot that I've actually had the case for over 2 years.

I'll just do all 3.
Check the power balance
Blow the dust out
Replace the case and coolers

Hopefully i won't need to replace the case but just coolers. I haven't used this PC enough and I feel like the case still looks pretty much brand new.

Thanks breh

A Case can last for years you should be straight, Fans wear down over time though.

yeah dust can collect in between the fins of the heatsink, and stop air from passing through. it can help a lot to clean it out

I updated to windows 10. My C:drive is completely full now and I can't update it. Is it possible to move only my program file to a new SSD i have, or will I have to migrate the entire OS?

Migrate the OS to get the most benefit. What size SSD did you have in mind?

I already bought it and its install in my computer. I linked it a page or 2 back, its 500gb SSD. I don't remember an option to change my drive when I upgraded to windows 10 last week. My SSD with my OS is 128gb.
