fan noise maybe????

by geoffmaree Jul 21, 2007 6:10PM PDT

Hi folks
Simple general question about my desktop.
Pent4.xp etc.Does the case fan speed up and slow down or is it a problem with my hard drive.
The fan seems to rev higher when i'm doing stuff.
I'm hoping it's not the hard drive.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers keep up the good work.

The inside heats up when you're doing stuff (especially video related). So the fan should work harder to get the heat out.
