Computer's acting funny again

could it just be that my thermal paste or whatever ran out or whatever

sounds like overheating

no it just sounds like a defective fan

OP if you want to have your computer not potentially die due to overheating you should stop using it until you get proper cooling (or use it less)
you could also install programs which tell you your computer temperatures

this is my only functioning computer in the house so I have to use it in order to figure out what to buy for it

on that note would it be possible to get will's radical forgetin' water pipe thingy and how much better would that be than what I have now

it's changed from a chugging noise to a revving noise is that noteworthy

How many RPMs does it reach before the redline

If it's your first time, don't get it. Plus it costs more than 159 iirc for a full kit

No, but due to you saying it's a tower, is pretty good implication that it will fit.
