i have had this cpu/fan for over about 2 years
"is rubbing a cable,"
i know its not cables, sounds different, and i have checked
" isn't mounted tightly"
will check to see if it is lose but i dout that
"many of them can be controlled by the motherboard, increasing RPM's when the temp goes up. CPU temps will general go up during boot up and loading anything for that matter."
sometimes the niose starts up when it is idealing, like i leave it on at night, and at 3am it wants to make a fuss
i see no reason for it to now after 2 years have an increase in temp, but i will check with software,
i guess the only way to really find out is replace it
thanks for the quick reply and the tips
it does sound like a temp problem but when it um tap it it goes away so i am thinking thats not it
