I've noticed that while gaming, my PC is making a really loud noise, kind of like it's going into overdrive. The fans are revving up, and it feels a bit hotter than usual. This wasn't an issue before; it used to run quietly during games. Now, it reminds me of a struggling old PS4! Any ideas on what could be causing this?

It sounds like your PC might be struggling with airflow. I’d suggest cleaning out the dust in your heatsinks and the air intakes. Dust buildup can really restrict airflow and make your fans work overtime, leading to the noise and heat you’re experiencing. Don’t forget to check the fans themselves for dust too!
I just cleaned mine really well, and it still sounds the same. Any other suggestions?
