Question for the people who are really good with tech:
Why's my PC started going so loud and hot in DBD now? It used to be super quiet and hardly heat up. The heat gets to 82 degrees on a Nvidia GTX 1050Ti (the PC was recommended for this game and has been great the past few years) and the fan is noisy as hell. It just suddenly happened. Anyone know why or have a theory? I think my PC just can't keep up, but the FPS seems to be saying otherwise?

If the fan is noisy, then there's probably something with the fan. Have you ever opened your computer and cleaned out all the dust and dirt that gets in there? My fan has been super loud lately too, I haven't bothered to check it though because I'm lazy and I recently cleaned the inside of my computer. You should first check and just see if it's dirty and if so clean it will compressed air and stuff. If it's not that your fan may need to be replaced. If the computer is getting hot, and your fan is making noise, that's probably the issue.

Have you dusted out your PC lately? Over time, that can lead to the sort of otherwise inexplicable heating/resource chugging that you are describing.

Would an electric PC duster be better than compressed air? Since it can be reused again? Also, I'll open it up later, definitely.

Electric dusters or compressed air? I'm leaning to electric for longevity. I'll set an order depending on what you and @MysticMusician say.

No clue, I've always used compressed air. I also have a bunch of case fans with filters on them, which helps. Summer is also the most annoying time of year for PC heating woes!

That would be fine too. I personally just have a can of compressed air here lol. Anything that can safely get the dust out of your pc works, it's really your choice.

It's strange cause this hasn't happened in the 2 years that I've had it. That being said, I've never known to dust it until recently though so it probably is dust. When we opened it, we couldn't see it though, or at least not where we were, but it could've been the lighting.
I'll go for an electric one, thanks. If the problem persists, you two mind if I consult you on your profiles for further advice? Ty a lot btw.

If you haven't dusted your PC in two years, I guarantee that this is your issue, and you will DEFINITELY see a lot of dust come out of your fans when you finally clean them out.

Ok, thanks! So I should expect it to be as quiet as it used to be after I've dusted it out?

I would expect it to be overall a little quieter, yes. It also depends on the quality of your fans, whether they spin faster when it's hotter, etc.

A Compucleaner Xpert did the job, now my idle temp is 34 degrees which is around a 20 degrees drop, and my game temp (nvidia geforce GTX 1050 ti) is 80 degrees (from 83), which idk if that's normal or weird for gaming.

80 degrees seems a little hot to me for a GPU. Did you dust out the fan on your video card?
0 -
Think so, I'll double check it though.

Yeah, I'll go over it tomorrow.
