Computer fan?

[R3BeL]

I'm noticing that the fan in my PC kicks on alot more often then it used to and I'm not sure if it's supposed to or if something is wrong with my computer. If I'm watching youtube videos it'll come on or sometimes if I change a webpage it does it or even if I'm not even using it, it kicks on.

Any idea what's up? I'd appreciate it guys.

Re: Computer fan?

try opening it and cleaning it with some compressed air to get the dust out. it's most likely due to reduced airflow

The fan that is connected to your case or is it a fan on the motherboard or CPU?

I'm pretty sure it's the fan to the motherboard because I keep the one on the case clean with compressed air.

this is most likely the problem. just dust out each fan. should do the trick.
