Computers generate heat, lots of heat, mainly from the CPU and the GPU.

That's why they are fitted with heatsinks and cooling fans.

You could start wearing ear-muffs, so you don't hear the fan.
You could relocate geographically, maybe Norway?

Or you could just turn up the onboard sound and listen to some loud music/sound effects.

I wasn't attempting to make fun of YOU, I was simply pointing out that your cooling fan running fast occasionally, might have something to do with your geographical location.

Which it will do - I've seen windows warp in Dubai and not many European countries (if any?) have window blinds on the outside of the glass.

So, I suggest you attempt cooling your computer by moving it away from thermal sources.

You don't have to go to Norway to do that!

You could try liquid cooling.

Gamers do this all the time.

Its not cheap, and its a pain to install, but you eliminate all the fans and its quiet.

If thats not the case, you can ty upgrading your fans and/or heat sinks depending on your technical ability. There are some high quality fans that can cool better than stock fans and be quiter as well.

When I start a game, the CPU and case fans all start blasting at high for a bit, but I use noise cancelling headphones and everything is fine.

Remove your heatsink and fan...then scrape the thermal paste off of the CPU. Then apply new thermal paste to the CPU...about a 3mm round dot. reapply the heat sink and fan.

Also is the fan just spinning fast? or is it making a loud noise. Those things go out all the time. You can buy ones that generate less noise.

Or you could move to Norway to escape the heat. Its only 79 degrees in Dubai right now...quite nice. Got AC? Its currently 70 degrees in my California office...very nice!

Just comfy and my 3 system network is humming reasonably quietly.
