    My Fan on my CPU is going crazy! It's making a loud noise. I think it's broken. Well, it's still spinning really fast like it used to, it just makes that annoying noise. What should I do???

    what do you mean???? now i'm not even sure if the sound is coming from my CPU fan. I moved some wires around and I guess it was the video card. So the sound is less loud but it still makes a sound. I cleaned out most of the dust...
