so this has been an issue for a while now but I've had trouble actually diagnosing it considering I was looking to start modifying my computer with more RAM and hard drives and sound cards and all that I think now would be the appropriate time to look for help There's a loud chugging noise coming from my computer. I just pulled it out from its spot on the floor and it wasn't a problem with the exhaust fan. Still, I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the fans in the computer. I can't exactly pinpoint the sound within the computer, but it sounds like it's coming from about midway between the front and back of the tower, closest to the side that you would pull off to do modifications or to just look at the inside. At the same time that's happening, whenever I play a game like ROBLOX for more than five minutes I'll notice the frame rate start to dip tremendously until it's at about 5-10 FPS and I have to either turn down the graphical quality or stop playing. It's got me thinking it has to do with the cooling unit for the graphics card, which I was also planning on replacing so hoo-hoo. IDK am I right here? /discuss |

Your cpu cooler fan is going out either that or your GPU fans are going out, it could be either of the two |
